A long, long time ago, I thought of writing a fairy tale stripped down to its barest motifs and motions. Beauty and hope and dread. The wish. The woods. So thankful to @Aaron__Burch and so very excited to share my second @havehadhavehad 💀! havehashad.com/hadposts/the-p…

a perfect and amazing firework burst of family lore today from @TerriLinnDavis "...a brother pushes a little sister into a ditch / saves her from a tornado / a girl walks bare chested / an arm gets bit / a mother is high, passes out in a 7-eleven..." havehashad.com/hadposts/my-fo…

It’s all to tell her about the total eclipse. “It won’t last very long, maybe a minute, but I won’t ever be able to see it again.” “What’s so special about an eclipse?” “Totality,” I say, as though that explains itself. @joelhans @theoffingmag

ICYMI—my new short story, a fairy tale of some future, in @theoffingmag One of their editors very kindly called it "masterful, ambitious cli fi—capturing the sense of an impossible future state"... so, you know, give it a read if that sounds like your thing?

"Globe is tilling her mother’s plot, the one labeled with the name we’ve never spoken to one another, pulling and discarding the weeds grown from my neglect. I watch from the fence that keeps mule deer out." Stunning @joelhans @theoffingmag theoffingmag.com/fiction/the-ci…

"This is all I have: to leave her with little uncertain gifts she’ll someday mourn for having lost." Wow! Loved this story by @joelhans in @theoffingmag It feels complete as is, but also? I'd read this all over again as a novel. theoffingmag.com/fiction/the-ci…

I have a new short story in @theoffingmag today. Grandparenthood and totality and an impossible quest to rinse a faraway desert with its first rainfall. So grateful to @marycpappalardo and other readers/editors at The Offing! 🌵 theoffingmag.com/fiction/the-ci…

I don't have words for what it means to me to see tiny Beatriz and the beached whale go live at @FracturedLit today. Huge love to @TommyDeanWriter @CoCo4AfroPuffs for believing in this story, & @SmokeLong @ingram_wallace & Flash Pack where it started.❤️🐋 tinyurl.com/37z2vm8d

2024 Anthology winner by @elissafield "Beatriz had been insisting since waking that we go to the house at the top of our road, on the rise above the sea. I was barely moving—even a four-year-old should sense something amiss..." fracturedlit.com/could-die-for-…

"She loves the uncertainty of picking cards and rolling the dice, all worn in their corners—she doesn’t know they once belonged to her mother.The ones we used to hold in our ends when we had nothing but each other." Read "The Cirrus Circus" by @joelhans theoffingmag.com/fiction/the-ci…

What secrets are in the fossils around us? @joelhans might know 👀 cottonxenomorph.com/journal/2024/7…


I absolutely adore a story about a key—better yet if it's without a home, maybe the same as the person who inherits it.

Excited to be back on @hexliterary, one of the best journals doin it right now, with a short piece of wonder & obsession & magic. hexliterary.com/?p=2225
