“Her eyes searched until she found a bright stretch of sky, an expansive, irrepressible blush, the color of a dying fire.”

I write character-driven literary fiction because I want to bring people’s inner lives to the page. I think a lot about the mystery of personality and why people do what we do. Why do we become entangled in storms of our own making? Read my latest, “Bed Work” published in The Baltimore Review, October, 2025.

“The porch rail has dried and cracked,

and leaves a splinter in my hand. It’s all I’ll carry with me from here. I don’t know why it was so cold this morning, but I’m off to another dream, as this one has failed to thrive, and I will always build my home opposite the sun.”

Excerpt from “Fogbow” published in Flash Fiction Magazine, July 2024

“In the cemetery,

Yuudai kisses me. He has hair as coarse as pine needles and broad shoulders that rake and haul and dig and plant. One arm wraps around me as we walk to the chapel where he drapes my panties across the velvet kneeler before his head sinks between my thighs. One day, my stomach growls.”
