There’s a part of me that never really left her goth phase, and sometimes, that comes out in my poetry. I included twelve of my dark poems in Doorways in the Gloom. They range from somewhat tongue-in-cheek on ghosts and death (like “15 Ghosts” or “Definitely Not Haunted”) to dark fantasy (“The Briar Princess”) to something […]

If you’re looking for a fantasy story or poem to read, here are a few of my recent fantasy publications! Back in March, Wyngraf published my flash fiction story, “The Truth of Their Tunes.” This was a piece inspired by a piece of music, specifically Radiohead’s song “Creep.” Though the lyrics don’t come up in […]

I had three new pieces out in October this year! My flash fiction piece, “The Arroyo Fiasco,” was published in Soul Jar, an anthology of authors with disabilities. My very neurodiverse geyser pterosaur story fits right in with the other stories in this anthology, and I’m so excited to have been included in the anthology and […]

As I mentioned previously, I’m working through Stephen Fry’s The Ode Less Travelled very slowly to absorb as much wisdom as I can about writing poetry. This week’s post (the final one!) covers Chapter 4 on Diction and Poetics Today. Most of this chapter is Stephen Fry talking about how poetry has moved him and some of […]

As I mentioned previously, I’m working through Stephen Fry’s The Ode Less Travelled very slowly to absorb as much wisdom as I can about writing poetry. This week’s post covers Chapter 3, Section 11, on shaped verse. This section goes through many different forms of poetry, but the thing the forms all have in common is […]

Today’s the day! Dead-Starred Futures is now available! If you like your science-fiction on the darker and dystopian side, this is the collection for you! It’s also all bite-sized fiction–nothing longer than 1,000 words, and quite a few pieces that are closer to 250 or 100! Visions of the future aren’t always gleaming starships and utopias. […]

I had one new publication in July, which was my poem “The Whale Shark’s Stars,” which appeared in Strange Horizons. This is an interlocking rubāʿīyāt, which is a slightly complicated format, but I was pleased at how well it worked for this poem! You can read it on the Strange Horizons website!

As I mentioned previously, I’m working through Stephen Fry’s The Ode Less Travelled very slowly to absorb as much wisdom as I can about writing poetry. This week’s post covers Chapter 3, Section 10, on the sonnet. Why does the sonnet get its own section? Well, there’s a lot of history to unpack, two major forms, […]

My next collection, Dead-Starred Futures, is out August 15, 2023, and it’s time to reveal the cover! This collection is all tiny pieces–flash fiction down to drabbles and poetry, so it will be a quick read but bursting with all sorts of dystopian and post-apocalyptic science fiction. It’s a darker counterpart to Droplets from the Universe. Visions […]

I had one poem published in June 2023, “Beneath an Unknown Sky,” which appears in the Summer Solstice issue of Eternal Haunted Summer. Their theme for this issue involved genesis and creation, and my poem touches a little on both of those, as a tree nurtures life both within its branches and beneath its roots. You […]
