  • Aurealis

    Between the podcast, poetry, my big fat secret project, and trying to finish two novels I haven’t had a lot of time to write short stories, but I’m thrilled to announce that I have a story in this month’s Aurealis.  It’s probably one of the weirdest and darkest things I’ve ever written, but I also made […]
