Was just talking w/another writer about vodou (how to responsibly write it, Zora Neale Hurston's work, etc) & recalled this story I wrote grappling with those very things. Of course, because it's me, it had to involve animate dolls w/their own agenda Fairbanks: www.bourbonpenn.com/issue/23/fai...

I've been reading Bourbon Penn for a decade. Having a story with them is an honor. Fantastic stories by the other writers in this issue, give it a read!

My story "Bad Boys" is in the new issue of Bourbon Penn alongside a bunch of other fine folks. Check it out.

If you’re not reading BOURBON PENN then you ain’t thinking right.

Y’all need to read Bourbon Penn if you’re not already. And I’m biased, because they published me - but they consistently release absolute bangers. This is the magazine that made me want to share my stories.

"That House" is the eighth story in my new collection, OTHER SIDES. Originally published in the fine journal, Bourbon Penn, it's the kind of haunted house story that makes you ask your family and friends, "Do you think this is a haunted house story?" Now shipping!: tinyurl.com/2ektv9ty

Recent work: “Local Extinction Hotline” in @bourbonpenn.bsky.social It’s a phone call, an encounter, a poem. It’s grief, guilt, and growth. It’s the interior of my heart. www.bourbonpenn.com/issue/34/loc...
