My new short short story “Scapegoat” is out in the world! a.co/d/4wgKMrK
My ideal Black Friday morning activity: Swapping out the cheesy buttons (top) for skulls (bottom) on my cardigan.
It’s always sunny with pink hair. (Taking a writing break today.)
Had a cup of tea and read Shy by Max Porter. Beautiful book that plays with form. At 122 pages, it was satisfying to read in one sitting. Conventional wisdom says novellas don’t sell, but they’re so reader-friendly. What say you? Read any novellas recently you’d recommend? #bookrecommendations
My new writing partner! Recently adopted Roxy from a poodle rescue. She is the bestest girl😍
Visited Edgar today. Kind of a one-sided conversation. He was deathly quiet.
Authors and writers, what is your go-to pen for signing books?
This really made me laugh. Thanks, @petridishes.bsky.social

Exciting news—my totally weird, short short story “Room Eight” was published in the latest issue of Coffin Bell. You can read it here:

I’m letting this book distract me from working on revisions. What are you reading instead of doing whatever it is that you’re supposed to do?
Heading to Kansas City in February for AWP. Will you be there? Let’s meet up!
Reading Rick Rubin’s book on creativity. Good stuff!
The Rappahannock Review interviewed me for a contributor spotlight. You can check it out here: rappahannockreview.com/issue-11-1/i...
I’m unspeakably excited—my short story “Sicko” was published in the latest issue of the Rappahannock Review! Check it out at rappahannockreview.com/issue-11-1/i...
Thanks so very much!
