Whoa. Just read it.

I’m happy to have a new story in the contest issue of Gooseberry Pie lit mag! You can read all the winners, shortlisted, & longlisted stories at gooseberry-pie.com/special-issu....

I’m happy to be a spotlighted author at @trashcatlit.bsky.social today! 🦝

2/2 Go and get informed and inspired by Kathryn's mini interview with Trash Cat and find out why she feels a cat is her soul animal 🐈 trashcatlit.com/2026/05/13/q...

Today's spotlight is on @writesofkathryn.bsky.social's prompted story, and she gave us a mini interview to boot 🦝 We loved the haunted fairytale nature of Little Bee, the terrible lessons a child learns about nature, and her reaction to it. Read and listen here: trashcatlit.com/little-bee/ 1/2

Lovely photo collage from @trashcatlit.bsky.social featuring the chillest cat ever, sweet Mr. Ian.

My story is live today and I will hop with joy if you read it. 🐇🐇🐇

Did some exploring today & found… a dark Satanic mill, apparently!

Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to @gooseberrypielit.bsky.social and @danbillyc.bsky.social for sponsoring what must have been an incredibly difficult contest to judge. These titles have been intriguing me all week & I can’t wait to read the stories! 🎉

Reading at Ames Free Library (Easton, MA) tonight at 6 with some amazing local poets & writers! ✍️ Hope you can come join us.

Two more teasers for our coming issue (live 3rd May) 🦝 In Alice Should Have Known Better, @hayleyshucker.bsky.social makes us breathless with her blistering lovesick prose In Little Bee, Kathryn Kulpa @writesofkathryn.bsky.social gives us a child hiding from loss and guilt in her lyrical beauty

Delighted to join the trash fam! 🗑️🦝💚

Happy to swim in this year’s flood!

Happy to have a new story in Blood+Honey! It’s not a story about birds… or is it? 🐦‍⬛ www.bloodhoneylit.com/fiction/song...

Blood moon pinks the sky where bare branches break at the thin edge of winter.

You're not going to make any money doing this and no one is going to read it, so you must hope for a secret third thing to happen

Just a few slots left for this week’s workshop! Registration link here: cleavermagazine.submittable.com/submit/34802...

Thank you to @brettpribble.bsky.social and Ghost Parachute for giving my new story a home. 🩵
