Publishing News:

I am super excited for my story "Alternative Content" to drop later this month at Stained Silk Magazine. It's another one of these masked teaching stories set in the backdrop of Ancient Greece.

​

Big exciting news! My first short story collection, "Little Gifts," has been shortlisted for the Forsberg Prize for fiction with Avalon Park Press. It's down to three and I'm still in it... keeping my fingers crossed.
