Fairwood Press launched five new books last week (including my collection!) and it has been fun to share a release day with some really wonderful authors.

My collection comes out on August 16th, one week from today!

If you want a sample of my work, many of the stories are available to read online (see my publications page for a complete list), but I thought it would be fun to post a teaser from one of the two original stories in the collection.
