dark matter presents Monstrous futures
MONSTROUS FUTURES, edited by Alex Woodroe, is out with my story “A Front Row Seat for Miss Evelyn.”
I love this story and I’m so excited to have it included in this amazing anthology!
It’s available here.
Short story acceptance!
My story, “A Front Row Seat for Miss Evelyn,” was accepted for publication in Dark Matter Ink’s anthology, Monstrous Futures, coming April 2023!!
The story (which I still think of by its working title, Granny Matrix) was inspired by images I saw during COVID lockdown of elderly nursing home residents visiting with their families through windows.
I’m so excited and honored to have a story included in Monstrous Futures and I can’t wait to read the other stories!
Short story in Bodies Full of Burning Anthology
I’m thrilled to share that my survival horror short story “Nobody Warns You” is in Bodies Full of Burning, a menopause-themed horror anthology, edited by Nicole M. Wolverton, out today from Sliced Up Press.
The story is Gerald’s Game meets Outward Bound for women over 50, and it was so fun to write!
