Hello hello, I am finally back to announce a story publication. This one is near and dear to my heart. I mean… all my stories are, but this one. WELL. It’s very personal. I wrote “You, In Flux” on a very terrible day. It deals a lot with the struggles of motherhood. These days, I’m… Continue reading “You, In Flux” Published in Shimmer Magazine, Issue 43

Hello hello! It feels like it’s been ages, but I’m finally back to announce another publication! Kasma SF has put together a collection with stories selected from the past TEN years of their magazine. This collection includes one of my first human-to-robot stories–“Memory File #006.” Rereading it now is a strange thing. There are some… Continue reading Reprint – Kasma SF’s 10 Years of SF Collection

In 2017, as you might have noticed, I sort of fell off the map. This was not a thing I expected. The first year with a new baby, I thought, would surely be the time when I would get no writing done, when I wouldn’t send stories out, and so on. Not so. I think… Continue reading 2017 Year In Review

“If anyone asks,” Jason says, “tell them we’re fine.” But we’re not fine. The words never escape your lips.  You swallow them and they sit heavy in your stomach like a wad of over-chewed gum. Instead, you nod.  You whisper something that sounds like “okay” but lacks conviction.  You go along with this because he’s… Continue reading “If You See Green, Scream” Published in Zetetic

So this year I’ve decided to start tracking what I read. I always forget, by the end of the year, what I read and when. So, inspired by E. Catherine Tobler’s reading summary posts, I intend to hopefully update y’all once a month. Without further ado, in January 2017 I read… Novels Eleanor by Jason… Continue reading January 2017 Reads

So. Funny story. I was lying in bed (after wrestling the baby to sleep) waiting for Bo to finish brushing his teeth and I just… I really felt like writing something. It was fall of 2016 and I hadn’t written much since Estelle was born. So I grabbed my iPod and just… started writing a… Continue reading “God Talk: Advice From a Deity in Distress” Published in Fireside Fiction

Well hullo there! It’s been a long time since I used this space for anything besides standard story publication announcements. Did you wonder what happened to me? No, of course not, if you follow me on Twitter you know I’ve been busy trying to get a baby to sleep, poop, eat and all that other… Continue reading #12for12stories

It is that time of year again, when all the lovely writers are smothering their imposter syndrome and putting out awards eligibility posts. So count me among them! I’ll make this short and sweet. The awards eligible story I’d most like to put forward this year is “Your Body, By Default” — published in Fireside… Continue reading 2016 Awards EligibilityPost

I’m super happy to bring you word of another story of mine–“You Said, Promised, Swore“–out yesterday in Fantastic Stories of the Imagination‘s November/December issue. (Read the whole issue for freeeeeee here). I’m super stoked to be sharing a TOC with Blaize M. Kaye. His story–“Ndakusuwa“–really tugs at the heart strings. The timing of this publication,… Continue reading “You Said, Promised, Swore” Published in Fantastic Stories of theImagination

November is certainly starting out with a bang–I will have two new stories for you this month. The timing of these publications is pretty awesome as they both share a theme: parenthood. It’s probably not surprising that this theme crept into my fiction this year. This whole having a baby thing affects deeply many areas… Continue reading “Perfectly Not Normal” Published in Flash FictionOnline
