“Origin Story” is one of the few stories I’ve written where the first few lines of the story popped into my head and made it onto paper, at which point I realized I loved them and couldn’t possibly change them. Seattle is a city of runners. Every other car has a “13.1” or a “26.2” […]

I’ve got two new poems out recently, one of which you can read online! “To the Underworld” was published in issue 74 of Abyss and Apex. It’s a Cascade poem that is loosely tied to Persephone. “Schrodinger’s Tardigrades” was published in issue 43.1 of Star*Line. It’s my response to learning that there are tardigrades (aka water bears) […]

If you’re interested in a very brief story, but you’d rather someone else read it to you, my flash fiction piece, “Coffin Coffee Table,” is now available from Manawaker Studios Podcast!

I have one book that has never been released as an ebook or print book, though you can read it online at Channillo. If you like creepy, atmospheric stories told in a found document format, you should definitely check out Camp Haunt. Camp Fairmarsh, founded in 1883, has a long tradition of giving teenage girls a […]

What happens when you mash up Spring Break in Cabo with Alice in Wonderland and a weird ability? You get “Drink Me,” one of my short stories included in Heroes of Necessity. I’m not sure which of the various ideas that I threw together for “Drink Me” came first, but I suspect it was the […]

Volatile Figments is an ebook only collection of dark contemporary fantasy short stories, which includes some of the weirdest stories I’ve written. Here’s the official blurb: Dani finds the new director in her college theater department more than a little unnerving, but she has barely scratched the surface on just how weird things are about […]
