wrote a (long) short story, Sanctuary, about an accidental nanny, and queer desire, and how being paid to take care of someone else's kids can feel like the only way to access a certain kind of family —

and it's out in print in Issue 31 of Quarter After Eight this month!

i love Amy's stories and this prompted me to buy a copy of SAD GROWNUPS for my sister, because nothing is better than book mail except maybe talking with the best friend you happen to share blood w about how hard and weird and wonderful it is to become a grownup. sister book club incoming!
