“Engagement, April 2010” published at Roi Fainéant

I’m happy to share that my flash CNF piece “Engagement, April 2010” is published in Issue 93 of Roi Fainéant!

I wrote this in Nancy Stohlman’s “Courting the Muse” workshop back in May 2023. We were asked to “plunder” another writer or story, studying what we loved about it and then trying to emulate that in our own work. I love “Egg Toss, August 1989” by Meagan Cass, so that was clearly my inspiration here!

Published in Stanchion’s Away From Home Anthology

I’m thrilled to have a piece in the Away From Home anthology from Stanchion!

I wrote “Bonnie’s House” as a micro in a Sarah Freligh workshop – I know that’s not a surprise at this point, as most of my pieces that eventually get published start there! I loved the idea for this anthology because I’m obsessed with getting glimpses into other people’s houses, so I knew I didn’t want to miss my chance to explore that.

I can’t wait to read all the other amazing stories included in this anthology! It’s officially out on September 10th, but you can preorder the book here: Away From Home Anthology

“Forget Me” published at Gooseberry Pie

I have a piece in Issue 12 of Gooseberry Pie Lit Magazine!

“Forget Me“ was written in a Sarah Freligh workshop, inspired by Edward Hopper’s painting, Summer Evening.

I think it stands without seeing the artwork, but appreciate the additional context the painting gives. What do you think?

Blue Monkey published at Ellipsis Zine

I’m so excited that my flash piece, “Blue Monkey,” was published today at Ellipsis Zine!

You can read it here!

I wrote this in a Sarah Freligh workshop that centered around place. After drawing a map of a street in my city, I realized there were tons of stories I could write… so I did! And this is the first to find a home, so I hope you read it and love it and demand someone publish my chapbook centered around midtown Memphis.

Read it in full!
