Publishing News:

Thanks to the good folks over at Cleaver Magazine for publishing my first craft essay, "Stay Close To It."  

​

More good news coming in: one of my favorite "teaching" stories will be dropping in a new lit. magazine later this spring. It's a play on the iconic teacher/student relationships of Ancient Greece, and I can't wait to share it with everyone.

​

Book Recs:​

Almost through with Weike Wang's new novel "Rental House" and it is deserving of all the hype. Absolutely worth checking out.
