I am so very very very (x infinity) thrilled to share the cover for Family Night with you, with sincerest gratitude to Stephanie Sundermann-Zinger with Mason Jar Press for coming up with something to bright, bold, and queer that I cannot imagine any other cover being so perfect.

I loved reading this story live at Pickles Pub during AWP, and I’m so grateful to Ghost Parachute for giving Local Boy Missing a great home.

It was also a sheer delight to read Puppy at the Club Car for Balancing Act: A Literary Circus during AWP. The vibe was so gay, I had the best time. Big thanks to Bending Genres for giving this kinky, subby girl a place to yearn!

Two poems are up at Blood + Honey, and content warning for repetitive stress injuries include addiction, funerals, death, even though this is really a bit of a eulogy love poem. (i am begging you to) let my people go is both a love poem to trans people and plea that people fix their fucking hearts.

Thank you to BULL for having me back with Dad Never Takes Us to a Tiger’s Game; please step right up, the circus dads are this way!

Raccoon revision writing prompt: Take an object or a character in a story that you feel lacks tension or movement and either replace it/them with a raccoon or have it/them display raccoon characteristics. If you want to get very realistic about their traits, you can find a helpful list here. The goal here is to both create constraints for behavior and encourage weirdness, and then see what happens as you re-draft. Maybe you keep the raccoon, maybe you don’t, but hopefully it helps shake things up! Not into raccoons? Try a different animal, or even make one up entirely!
