Publications
My book The Thorn and the Blossom will be coming out on January 17th! Here is the book trailer, which gives you an idea of what the book is about and its unique structure:
My story “Christopher Raven” is in Ghosts by Gaslight, edited by Nick Gevers and Jack Dann. It’s also available online in Fantasy Magazine, along with an interview with me.
My story “Woola’s Song” is going to be in Under the Moons of Mars: New Adventures on Barsoom, edited by John Joseph Adams. To learn more about this anthology, take a look at the announcement on io9.
Two poems of mine, “Binnorie” and “The Witch,” are going to be in The Moment of Change: An Anthology of Feminist Speculative Poetry, forthcoming from Aqueduct Press.
