I had the honor of co-editing the upcoming anthology "TILT: Off-Kilter Stories for a Topsy-Turvy World," along with Peter Hoppock. There's no other anthology out that that is like the Off Campus Writers' Workshop developmental anthologies. This, our third, will launch 9/1/26. bookshop.org, Amazon.

Excited to share my new story in an upcoming anthology of short fiction—TILT: Off-Kilter Stories for a Topsy-Turvy World. Creeping sensations, dubious visitors, narrators gone horribly rogue … These startling short stories will TILT your reality! #anthology #anthologies #shortfiction #shortstory

I am thrilled to that I have a short story that will be published in TILT (FALL 2026), the 80th anniversary anthology produced by the Off Campus Writers' Workshop. #Tilt #shortstorywriter #storycollection #ocww
