My husband asked my 6 yr old the name of my book. Kiddo didn't know but he did say the cover is green and it has poppies on it! Drops in less than a week. Preorders still available for ebooks or 3 of the printed @publishedbyJAKE chaps. jakethemag.square.site/s/shop

I thought maybe the balloons were taken away, but they are still here. One tiny bit of fun left.

Glad to be in the line up this fall.

Alright, everyone, here it is! The #bookcover reveal for "All and Then None of You" from @CowboyJamboree. 21 stories and a novella that criss cross the quiet corners of California. Out Sept. 2, 2025. Watch to the end to see the cover!

I lost someone in February. Thanks to @ReckonReview for publishing this piece I wrote in the thick of grief.

So glad to have it, and that people are open to sharing their heart aches!

Latest post went up this week at IG @brokenheartsliterary from Michael Hammerle @mike_hammerle. Visit and see all the heartbreaks!

This Thursday at San Pasqual Winery in La Mesa, four @cowboyjamboree writers reading from story collections. Check it out!

I have a sad CNF coming out in @ReckonReview on July 14th. Watch for it!

If you are in the San Diego area, check out this reading from @CowboyJamboree authors in July 10th!

ICYMI: @publishedbyJAKE has the latest Lilly and Charles flash.

Hey I just realized yesterday marks two months until my short story collection is released from @CowboyJamboree! Love working with this press and @gritvanwinkle.

If you missed it, my CNF about bedtime and parenthood and how we want to protect our kids from the world.

Hop on and read some amazing work in @press_roi this month. And I've got a review of Maud Lavin's book Mermaids and Lazy Activists!

New piece up with @publishedbyJAKE. Check out my latest Lilly and Charles story "Selfies." jakethemag.com/selfies/

Honored that Andrew and I kicked off this series and he got to see it published. He passed away this week and @icebreakers_lit let him share a bit of his story before he went.
