It's been a long road for my short story cycle, Search Party, set on the eastern shore of Maryland. It's been over 15 years of working on the stories, publishing most in literary journals, and now I am so pleased to announce that I found the perfect publisher in Secant Publishing : )
So incredibly honored to announce that my story "Kim" was just nominated for a Pushcart Prize as well by the San Antonio Review :-)

So many wasted words. Try, for just one day, to only say what is necessary.
