Introducing myself here. My books are SEX ROMP GONE WRONG (Blair 2024), and THE SUM OF TRIFLES (UGAP 2021). I love coffee, cheese, long walks, and costume dramas. Don't post a lot but I like connecting with fellow writers and readers who have a wry sense of humor and a compassionate sensibility.

Proud to have a new story, "Mrs. Foxfur," in the Missouri Review. Big thanks to the editors and readers there. This story started out as a fairy tale retelling and kind of morphed into I don't know what. missourireview.com/article/mrs-...
