I had two new pieces come out in September. First, my poem “The Turn of the Seasons” was published in Sylvia Magazine.

When I first developed the character of Gray Dawn / Cassidy Sweet, I had some loose ideas about her history as a pop star. Though the peak of her career was later than the peak of the late 80s and early 90s pop stars, once of the iconic things that I thought was essential for […]
