Publications



Firefly Igloo ~ Shimmer (forthcoming)
The house next door to Marta’s had an octopus living in the hanging basket over the front porch, right where a plant should have been.




Setting My Spider Free ~ Electric Velocipede (forthcoming)
Cool air swirled in through the window and carried with it the faint tapping of claws scratching against stone.  A spiderling was climbing my tower.

This story was originally written at the Clarion West Writers Workshop.




Mori Bird Tending the Mori Birds ~ Fantasy Magazine (forthcoming, Issue #7)

A Mori bird waited for him on the railing. . .the dying light accentuated the patch of red feathers at the base of its neck, the only color on an otherwise black bird.  It was a bloody-throated Mori bird, harbinger of death.

This story was written at the Clarion West Writers Workshop.




Duck Time to Say Goodnight ~ Fantasy Magazine (12/31/2007)

There was something silver on top of Clara’s dresser when she woke up the next morning.  It was a metal bird about the size of a teddy bear.  She hopped out of bed for a closer look.  It was Duck.  Clara picked him up with both hands.

"Time to Say Goodnight" has been listed on the Million Writer's Award list of Notable Stories for 2007. The story was originally written at the Clarion West Writers Workshop. It is available online at Fantasy Magazine.
