“My mom was a nurse at a pediatric hospital. One of the best in the nation. State-of-the-art and all that. And still, kids died. All the time.“

"Fliss captures the nature of loss, the ways in which we must navigate the unimaginable. Grief, like some of the situations here, is unimaginable, fantastic, completely self-altering." Happy to share this review at Mom Egg Review!

I have stories I call percolation stories because they require the initial idea plus a lot of time plus additional weird sparks. Accidental Girls was one that took about 7 years from initial idea to actual writing.

I have another that's about ready to pour and I'm excited 👀

HAPPY BOOK PUBLICATION DAY TO ME! x2!!

Two genres of book I never thought I'd publish — a collection of personal essays & a craft anthology I edited. Two books I couldn't be more excited to see out in the world. Huge thanks to Autofocus, one of the best doing it rn!
