As so many of us NYCM writers do, I live in fear of being assigned the dreaded Political Satire genre... but I had a ton of fun with it for R2 of the NYCM Short Story contest, and my silly magazine article spoof managed to come in 3rd!

This means that I'll be writing in R3 this weekend :)

I was over the moon to learn that my story, "Girl Season", won Globe Soup's Paranormal Contest! 🎉
