Dark Blooms out Now!
Dark Blooms: Girls' Coming-of-Age Horrors
My short story, Spiderella, can be found among the pages of Dark Blooms: Girls' Coming-of-Age Horrors. Spiderella follows an eighth grade Alanna as she struggles to stay true to herself among the pressures of adolescence. Her inner conflict comes to a crescendo on Halloween night as she also faces extrinsic dangers.
I hope you'll grab yourself an ebook or paperback and check out these wonderful tales! Ruth Anna Evans always puts out a fantastically curated anthology.

Chromophobia
Earlier this year, my first EVER short story publication hit the shelves. I am so honored to have a place in Chromophobia: A Strangehouse Anthology, edited by Sara Tantlinger.
My story is titled Toxic Shock. It's about a woman whose monthly period is anything but normal. I hope you'll check out the full anthology, full of stories by women horror authors. Let me know what you think of it!
