"The Frog Wife" was one of those stories that appeared fully formed in my mind. I find this one a personal delight. zooscape-zine.com/th...

"Scoop" was written for the Apparition Lit flash contest theme Ice Cream but found the perfect home at small wonders. I love dystopian stories, and always have. Everyone who reads this one tells me how sad it is. smallwondersmag.com/...
"The Beast that Resides in You, in Me, in the Rain" is another deeply personal piece. I lifted some of the details right out of childhood memories - including the chicken skin! This one also got bespoke art by Ellen Abrams King, just gorgeous, and audio by Jessica Taige. therazormag.com/arti...
We have decided to remove a short story from Issue 153 of Apex Magazine. After meeting with our reading and editorial teams, we'd like to share with you what happened, and importantly, how we plan to move forward from here. Thank you for sticking with us. 💜👽
"Homunculus" is by far the most difficult story I've ever written. I sobbed over the keyboard as I typed, and it's still an intensely personal, uncomfortable story for me. www.seizethepress.co...
"Harold's Hook" was the first story I sold that anyone could read, instead of having to buy an anthology. It's actually a very personal story about being queer in a straight-presenting relationship, but it's also about birds and fish. zooscape-zine.com/ha...
