                      We proudly present the First Issue of the MockingOwl Roost – Expectation.

                      Enjoy short fiction, serialized fiction, essays, poetry, lyrics, and visual artwork in this issue, from twelve writers and artists from across the globe.

                      This project has been 6 years in the making and we are thrilled to share this labor of love with you: The MockingOwl Roost, Volume 1, Issue 1 – Expectation.

                      The issue, and all others at the MockingOwl Roost, celebrate visual aesthetics, so they are best viewed on larger screens to prevent distortions and side cuts.
