New Publications in Fall 2014

This fall I have three stories coming out all at the same time.

I would like to think this good fortune is due to hard work, an early bedtime, and some badass editors who carefully read through the slush pile.

Thanks y'all!

• "M&L" at West Branch
• "Wings of Isis New Age Gifts And More" at Front Porch
• "Odd Variations On The Species" at Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet

I work here now!

In January I started working as the Program Coordinator at 826CHI, a non-profit writing and tutoring center. The spirit of my job is best captured by this fantastic video made by designkitchen:

"Yoga Jones is my spirit animal." -- Patton Oswalt

I wrote an article about Buddhism, yoga, and Orange Is The New Black. "An Unlikely TV Heroine: The Dharma According to Yoga Jones" is now available through Spirituality & Health magazine. Many thanks to the talented Constance Shulman for giving this interview!

Thanks to decomP magazine for nominating my story!

"Sacred Bone," first published in decomP magazine, was nominated for the storySouth Million Writers Award.
