Wonders of the Unseen World
A collection of short stories

The twelve short stories in Wonders of the Unseen World unearth hidden mysteries all around us. Here a woman can transform from mother to lake serpent, bring a tattoo fluttering to life, use a lunar eclipse to travel back in time, risk a drink from a capricious fountain of youth, or even disappear anything or anyone she paints on a canvas. No matter what secrets are revealed in caverns, graveyards, or past lives, the women in this collection of magical feminist stories reclaim their bodies to discover their power in the world. 

A Common Disaster
A novel-in-stories

When AirJet Flight 83 departs Baltimore and crashes into the Key Bridge only a few survivors are pulled from the icy wreckage. Weaving together their stories from the days and decades both before and after the crash into a larger narrative, A Common Disaster examines the pattern of belief evoked by accidents to show how individuals are changed forever by their common experience. 

The Space Between Our Adjacent Hearts
A collection of flash fiction

Three series of connected stories explore the longings of the human heart. Seeking connection and meaning in the natural world is found in the struggle to plant a garden, escape the city, or get rid of a father. A desire to leave behind family and self-destructive patterns to find real love traces along a teenage couple’s shoplifting adventure gone wrong to the weight of superstition on their family. Alternating between yearning for forgiveness and release from grief, is the chronicle of a man’s last days before his suicide and his estranged wife’s requiem letters offered in reply.
