I always feel like Milo in the Phantom Tollbooth: when I'm making objects I think I should be writing, and when I am writing I think I should be making something. So I tend to send out stories and poems in spurts, which also makes acceptances (and rejections) erratic. Here are links to recent published work, starting backwards from today, when four of my stories were just published in FRiGG magazine. I keep a current list on my website, here, if you want to see back even further. I like the short forms, so the pieces are, well, short.
FRiGG: Spring/Summer 2022, Issue #59; "Common Language" & "Sunprints" & "Clown Nose" & "Other Weddings" (My comments about each story are also included.)
Eunoia Review: February 15, 16, 2022; "Deed of Ownership" and "One Crow Comforts Me" (This site posts daily)
