It’s a huge honor to have two pieces in Orca Literary’s literary-speculative issue, and it’s as surreal as it is incredible to see me, as me, in a print mag for the first time. 😊 Huge thanks to everyone at Orca for seeing something in my work!
Woke up to an acceptance from AntipodeanSF! It’s a spec fic Afterglow piece called “Seeking Sounds,” about grief & love & chronic pain & carrying on. It’ll be up in March, and I’ll also be narrating it for the AntiSF Radio Show! I am super duper chuffed about this. 😊
“Me With You,” my CNF love letter to Harmony, to finding the right one and getting to be yourself with them just went live in the incomparable JMWW. Huge thanks to Hannah Grieco for giving this a home. I’m so happy to see this one go live. 😊 You can read the piece here!
“Me With You,” my love letter to Harmony/CNF about finding someone who will love you for who you are just got accepted by JMWW! Huge thanks to Hannah Grieco for seeing something in this one. For anyone who needs it, your reminder to never give up:
Litro just published “Stop Making Sense,” my flash about Talking Heads, gay bar experimentation, and gender identity! I’m really proud of this one, and you can read it here. Huge thanks to Litro for giving this a home! 😊
I’ve got a prose piece about grief & longing & fighting small town homophobia that I’m really proud of, just went live in scissors & spackle! Huge thanks to Jenny & Ariana & all the awesome folks at ELJ for seeing something in my words. 😊
I’m so honored and thrilled to be a part of No Contact’s Costume Party today, among such insanely talented writers. I just read through all 15 pieces, and they are wonderful. Huge thanks to Gauraa Shekhar and Elliot Alpern for publishing my words on costumes and writing! Check out the entire mini issue here!
I am so very happy and honored to share this piece of mine that just went live in Anti-Heroin Chic. This is a flash distillation of the book I’m currently working on, a novel of the same name. Thank you so much, James Diaz, for believing in this story.
I don’t even know what else to say. I am overwhelmed in the best possible way right now. What do you say when a dream comes true? Thank you so much to everyone who believed in me, who supported me and my dream, and for all the kind words and encouragement over the years as I worked on this. You can now buy my book here!
