My newest story is out at Sunlight Press, titled All is Not Lost. It’s only 1,790 words—so a short short story. The impetus of this story began with a real event.

Flora Literary is running a small prose poem I wrote around the theme of regret. It starts as a list but then addresses certain people I feel I’ve wronged or short-shrifted—bringing on latent regrets. Afterthoughts. Self-examination. What-ifs and if onlys.
