Chain of Thought

Meniscus Literary Journal has published a flash fiction of mine called “Chain of Thought” in their latest issue. It’s available to read online or download to your e-reader. Thanks to Paul Hetherington for choosing to include this story.

Ornamental Scarves

The Ilanot Review has published “Ornamental Scarves” in their TOXIC issue, up now. Thank you to Marcela Sulak who writes about this issue’s theme "The poems, essays, flash, graphics and stories gathered here are stubborn acts of rebellion against dehumanizing institutions and power structures. They are acts of hope and apology to our planet. They are warnings both loud and quiet. They direct our eye to small beauties and shine a light on dark underbellies.” Read her whole note here, and the rest of the issue here, and “Ornamental Scarves” by clicking on the image below.

Story of a Princess

Exterminating Angel Press (EAP) publishes books and an online magazine “challenging the dominant cultural story” and their motto is “creative solutions for practical idealists,” which fascinates me.

They’ve published “Story of a Princess” in the latest issue, Fall 2020: Sort Of. “Being a princess is not all it’s cracked up to be,” is how editor Tod Davies describes it in her editorial note. Thank you, Tod. I can’t wait to read all of these.

The Girl's Piano

Thank you to Great Lakes Review for publishing this short fiction about music, climate anxiety, and persistence. Check out the gorgeous photo by Mark Skrobola accompanying the story. I’ve lived in the Great Lakes region, either ten minutes from Lake Ontario or thirty minutes from Lake Michigan, my entire life. I’m especially happy to be included in a journal that highlights this region.

Gravitational Pull

Today, a new short story, “Gravitational Pull,” is up on Border Crossing. It’s a blurred genre piece about Iceland, insatiable itch, and finding home.

This was a fun story to write. It started with a prompt about Iceland, and morphed from there. I’m especially happy to have it in Border Crossing, a journal that celebrates the literary arts in Canada and the US, specifically Ontario and the Midwest, my two homes.



Daughterhood

Oxford Magazine published a short story of mine today, in Issue 44. It’s just under 2000 words, so not considered flash fiction, which would make it officially my first non-flash short story published.

Gun Republic

Jellyfish Review publishes some of the most exciting flash fiction out there, and I’m so happy to be a part of the Committing Crimes special issue.

Click the above image to read the story. Then read a few more (especially Edna’s Boy by Julie Cadman-Kim)—if you dare.

Smoke & Mirrors

Today, issue 66 of SmokeLong Quarterly is up, along with an interview about “Librarian,” the story selected by Nicole Rivas. You can read it here:

And look below: you can read the whole issue of SLQ. Each story is under 1000 words, so they aren’t long, but they resonate long after the reading is done. Isn’t that a beautiful cover?
