New published fiction!

“Maria’s Mixtape.” North American Review, Spring 2023.
Taking place in the mid-‘90s, my story follows a washed-up punk rocker
as she navigates rehab, using music to find herself again and
striving to repair a failed relationship with the
love of her life. I think you’ll like it.

Storytelling is a landscape,
and tragedy is comedy is drama.
It simply depends on how you frame what you’re seeing.
