Five [Quarterly] chose my fiction chapbook, See & Be Seen & Be Scene, as the winner of their second annual 5Q E-Chapbook contest. Yeehaw!

Gesture//Monsters//Animals
Gesture Literary Journal published my short story, “When the Animals Turned on You,” today in their “Monsters” issue, available online here. I wrote it last semester for a class on American Gothic, and I plan to incorporate it into the beginning of my novel.
Yesterday, Gesture invited me to read at their “Monsters” launch party in Fort Collins, Colorado…digitally! It was a strangely lovely experience, reading from my apartment via Skype while sippin’ PBR.
Five [Quarterly] publishes “Love Letter”
My short story, “Love Letter to Lady Lazarus,” was recently published in Five [Quarterly]‘s Winter 2014 issue, available online here.
I was invited to read for the issue’s launch party this past weekend at MiMoDa Studio in Los Angeles, California. It was my first time in California, and it was badass, I must say.
