New Work out

A piece entitled Civil War Reenactment was accepted by Miracle Monocle out of the University of Louisville.

I was working one morning and had the radio on in the background and there was something about a Civil War reenactment on--and I thought: They're still doing these?

Then I thought about how the term civil war can apply to so many things--difficult decisions, current politics, the internal war inside of us. So I wrote this piece, actually part of a much bigger project: a novel that is complete and in the drawer for now. 

Interestingly, a query for the novel was shortlisted in a contest--still waiting for an agent to take on the manuscript.
