Special Announcement:

I have been digging through my publication credits and have started working on a few new collections. In the works are a horrorku manuscript, a rural haiku manuscript, an urban haiku manuscript, and a collection about my experience with pregnancy and miscarriage. I look forward to sharing updates as I continue to build these books and seek publication for them.

Thanks for reading!
