BCC Shines a Light On:
William Cass
Name of the piece published by BCC:
When/where was it originally published:
Forth Magazine, 2018
What is the background of the piece? What led you to write it? What’s your process?
This piece borrows from a few personal experiences and imagines several more. I was led to write it
when I happened upon the title in a newspaper article about the unusual natural occurrence involved,
which led to an exploration of seemingly disparate elements that somehow eventually seemed to blend
together into something approaching a coherent connection.
How did you feel when it was first published and how have your thoughts or feelings on the piece
changed from then to now?
I was surprised when it was first published because the fiction editor
involved accepted it within hours after I submitted it, which has only happened to me very rarely. Even
though a number of years have now passed since then, I find I feel similarly about it as I did when it was
initially written, which is also rare for me.
Where can readers find more of your work? (Website/social media, etc)
I’ve recently published two short story collections, Something Like Hope & Other Stories and Uncommon & Other Stories, with
Wising Up Press. Info about each can be found at their website:
