I won a Pushcart Prize! Huge thanks to my brilliant editor @kcfriedman.bsky.social, everyone at @onestorymag.bsky.social & the Pushcart editors!
One thing that working-furiously-on-novel-while-traveling is teaching me: how to get good at ignoring lesser responsibilities, letting non-urgent emails wait, and using every spare minute I have to dip back into the novel.
HUGE congrats to @joybaglio.bsky.social on winning a Pushcart! I know what a journey it has been to get this story in the right state and the right hands for publication, and this prize is so justly deserved. ❤️
Toying with the idea of sharing one What If / theory every few days. Here’s today’s:
Belated photos from my wonderful conversation with author Joanna Margaret at Odyssey Bookshop, about her novel The Daughters, a gothic mystery. We chatted about historical research, witch trials, writing suspense, & so much more! Thanks to all the amazing folks who joined us!
Congratulations to @joybaglio.bsky.social on winning a Pushcart Prize for her extraordinary short story “We Are Sorry for Your Suffering,” first published in One Story Magazine. Joy’s work continues to astonish with its emotional precision, imagination, and depth — this honor is so deeply deserved.

Had a wonderful time reading & talking craft / process last week at A Writer’s Night, in Longmeadow MA! Thanks to all the wonderful folks who showed up, joined in a very lively conversation about writing, and participated in my small frog-themed trivia challenge (winner won a copy of “Frog Heart”)!
