The Ones Who Loved You is coming out January 5, 2027 from Counterpoint. As a reader, I’ve been a fan of this publisher for a long time. Working with them has been a dream come true. Pre-order HERE because January you might like it.

“One Thing About Blue” from Askashic Books’ Sacramento Noir, edited by John Freeman, was chosen for Best American Mystery and Suspense 2026. BAMS 2026, edited by Megan Abbott, releases in October. Isn’t that cool?

The current issue of Chthonic Matter holds “Cal,” my story about girls on a neighborhood swim team. I am a fan of this magazine, and so pleased to appear in its pages once again. Click here to buy the issue or subscribe.

Another in my current eco-horror project is City of Trees in Black Glass Pages’ Issue 2: Survivors. In my defense, I know that Joshua trees are from the lily family and not trees at all. This knowledge does not, however, spare anyone. Digital copies available on the website here: Black Glass Pages.

In an extraordinary turn of events, my story from Sacramento Noir appears today in Electric Literature’s Recommended Reading magazine, recommended by John Freeman. I was honored to work with him. I am so happy to be included.

My story “One Thing About Blue” is included in Akashic Books’ Sacramento Noir, available for purchase. The stories within are so good. I’m so glad to be included.

“The Parade,” another (very short) story in the New Winter universe appears in Querencia Winter 2025 Anthology alongside a host of other wonderful writing.

This story came out last summer in Cold Signal Magazine’s Pygmalion and Galatea issue. It’s a dual timeline story about a newcomer to a seaside community that is paying bloody homage to cosmic forces in hopes of forwarding their billionaire ambitions, and the far future folklorist trying to understand why the entire town fell into a giant sinkhole. I hope you like it.

An epistolary story I wrote appears in the wonderful Chthonic Matter Quarterly Summer 2024 issue, available for order today on the publisher website and on Amazon.

This flash piece in the wonderful Maudlin House was cribbed from a chapter of a novel I wrote a very long time ago about a young medium considering the ethics of using her talents for profit. I hope you like it!
