Published Fiction and Poetry
I’ve had several short stories and poems published in literary journals and anthologies.
 | The Written Across the Genres Anthology Fifty-Fifty is a short story of a woman escaping a bad situation, deciding whether to get into another. An excerpt of Semper is also in this anthology. |
|---|---|
 | The Extinct Doesn’t Mean Forever Anthology (out of print) Distractions is a humorous short story of a couple who is reminded of what’s really important while on holiday. |
 | The Facing The Sun Anthology I have two poems in this anthology, Connections and Finding Contentment. The anthology raises money to help a dear writer friend who has suffered high medical costs due to health problems. |
 | Thereby Hangs a Tale This journal lasted only two issues but had some really awesome work in it. My story, Golden Advice, is an embellished true vignette of some good advice I got when I went off to college (the issue’s theme was “expatriate”). |
 | The First Line This journal provides the first line; my story, Saved, is about a young person’s depression following a tragic loss. |
 | THEMA This journal provides a theme on which all submissions must be based. My story, Joseph’s Mother, is about a doomed love discovered under the worst of circumstances. |
 | Caesura I have one humorous poem in this journal on the theme of superstition. |
 | The 2009 San Francisco Writers Conference Anthology My story in this anthology, Thirty-Five Across, is about a second chance. |
 | The 2010 San Francisco Writers Conference Anthology (out of print) I have a humorous poem in this anthology. |
 | Much light verse on my old blog |
In addition, I won the January, 2009 flash fiction contest at the Clarity of Night blog, was selected Readers’ Choice in the July, 2009 flash fiction contest at the same blog, and had a third story selected for mention in a ByLine Magazine contest.
