My Nonfiction Debut!
My very first nonfiction essay is out now with the SFWA Blog!
This is an essay about my journey with chronic pain over the last few years. It’s the most personal thing I have ever written, and I am very excited to share it and hope it brings some hope to whatever trials you are facing in your own life.
*Content notes for non-graphic discussion of chronic nerve pain and its treatment..
Pre-Order Dark Hearts
My fantasy short story “A Psalm of Blood and Water” will appear in the pages of Triangulation’s 22nd anthology Dark Hearts—a collection of stories and poems about women anti-heroes.
The Dark Hearts Kickstarter is running through May 8th. It is a great opportunity to support an awesome publisher and pre-ordering through the Kickstarter is the only way to guarantee your copy of the special paperback edition for Dark Hearts that contains the glorious artwork by Caroline Jamhour. The anthology is available in multiple formats, and there are support tiers for every budget. The Kickstarter page also features samples of stories and audio formats you can check out for free!
Latest Story: “It Takes a Galaxy”
My science fiction short story “It Takes a Galaxy” is out now with Phano Magazine!
“It Takes a Galaxy” is about a found family that’s about to expand and how exciting, and terrifying, that can be, no matter what your species.
