Delighted to be a part of the festivities with my story “Severed Blessings,” based on an old northern Thailand wedding tradition and what happens when fear, shame and societal prejudices drive a woman to break her vow. As usual (in my stories), someone is very very hungry.

It’s here! I’m so proud of the story I have in this one. If you’re in the Triangle, you can hear me read an excerpt from my story “Cut-Skin, Outside-In” TOMORROW at Moondog Meadery in Durham. I’ll be reading with a bunch of other HWA authors at 7pm.

The only way I have found so far to truly counter feelings of inadequacy and failure in my writing is to WRITE MORE, so I guess that’s what I’m going to do
