New Story is Out!
Ooh, I've been waiting to share this news with you for so long! Issue Six of Frozen Wavelets has my little flash story about prayer and revenge. This tale rushed out of me like a long-held breath after I'd been working and chewing on a completely different ibis idea. Writing brains are weird beasts, I'll … Continue reading New Story is Out!

Bards & Sages Quarterly
Look! My name is on the cover! My story, Temple of the Endlings, was written pre-pandemic, but it addresses a lot of the feelings we're grappling with as the death toll mounts and we feel lost and alone, and our prayers feel unanswered. Thanks for reading!

This is one of my older stories, written about six years ago and then rewritten several times more. I kept changing the ending. I was excited to find such a perfect home … Continue reading The Lonely

Things are very stressful and awful. However you are coping or not coping, you are not alone. More than ever, we need to … Continue reading The Good News
Two Book Benders

And while I have only read a few of them, The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep is now my gold standard. The trick is that Parry manages to excel on three levels simultaneously. Character, Plot, and … Continue reading Two Book Benders
Dreams & Nightmares: Issue 114
My prose poem, Sewing by the Stars, can be found in the latest print issue of Dreams & Nightmares! It's tucked between a funny, conversational piece about language and zombies and a melancholy long-form about Jewish brides told from a unique viewpoint. The whole issue is eclectic and entertaining, and the art is wonderful. A … Continue reading Dreams & Nightmares: Issue 114
