3 new stories in New World Writing Quarterly! Another bucket list for me. These stories are representative of how my work has been going recently, slightly off-kilter, and I love that. I hope you check them out! Esp "I'm a Decorative Throw Pillow..." which was inspired by my brilliant friend, Eric.
new story out today in Strange Pilgrims!
