More Shortness
Hi readers:
Though I hoped to put together a collection, it turns out that my short stories fall into two categories that don't mix: domestic stories about loss and family and love versus more fantastic stories about ghosts, curses, love, and magic.
I recently published one of the latter: Pinky Johnson goes to a crossroads in deepest Mississippi on a mission to save the soul of legendary bluesman R Read more of this blog post »

Though I am late to the party, I got to this memoir this summer and while I can't say I enjoyed this suspenseful memoir about a woman getting away from her fundamentalist doomsday-cult Mormon family, it was mesmerizing. I'd put it on the shelf next t ...more |

If anyone deserves fan fiction, it's Jane Austin, and in this variation on P&P, Elizabeth Bennet dresses as a boy and runs away to sea. Stay with me. This story is not Pride and Prejudice. This is a lovely, well-researched story about steam-powered sh ...more |

This should be a "reread," but it's been decades since I first read this story set on the Chesapeake during WWII about sibling rivalry and family. Not a comfort read, but wowsa! It's vivid, brutal in its honesty, and rightfully won the Newbery. ...more |

“When the telephone rang in the middle of the night, I knew.
The Tennessee state trooper on the other end said, "Your sister's been hurt pretty bad."
