STORIES ONLINE AND IN PRINT:

Here’s a list of published stories, most of which are accessible online. Thank you to all editors of all these great literary journals and blogs, with a special thank you to Café Aphra, who were the very first to publish my work. I might be biased, but I think they are  an especially brilliant place for flash fiction and poetry.
