A #sundaysentence in honor of this week’s announcement of my first book! (Coming out fall 2026 from Cornerstone Press!)

“Of course you’re scared. You’re a writer!”

News! I have news! Coming in 2026, my book ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So surreal to see this Publishers Marketplace announcement.
Follow along with my updates on Substack. And I’ll see you on the bookshelf soon.

A #sundaysentence that really spoke to this gluten-free reader. (Is that what real bread tastes like?!)
“The bread was like taking a bite from a living coral reef, decadent and spongy.”

Still thinking about this performance days later…

Instead of a #sundaysentence, here’s my Sunday book. Eve Babitz is always on my mind, but this week had me wanting to return to her love letter to LA, Slow Days, Fast Company…

As a huge lover of Irish literature, it’s been a dream to one day publish there. Pinch me because my contributor copy of Sonder arrived in New Jersey. A beautiful publication. And I just love the whole concept of “Sonder” (the realization that each passerby has a life as complex as your own.)

Pinch me! My story got a special mention in the 2024 Pushcart Prize anthology. Thank you to Colorado Review! 💓💓💓

This is thrilling. My story, “Doubloons,” is a finalist in Short Edition’s Money Chronicles contest and will be distributed in short story dispensers in select US cities.
I love the idea of distributing stories this way. Thank you to editor @davdrury.bsky.social and the judges!

Blurred genres are my fave, so I couldn’t have asked for a better home for my little oddball #flash. Check it out, along with the awesome artwork and other genre bending beauties in Redivider.
