Selected Writing

Some personal favorites from over the years

[ETC.]

Defenestration

A fake Craiglist ad about a guy looking for a roommate, a job, a place to live, and a missed connection…all in one post.

Love at 27A

Bartleby Snopes

A story about heartbreak and a sentient, autonomous car.

Dear Turkey

The Toucan

Now this is some weird stuff! A poem about a turkey in the oven.

The Weight

Menacing Hedge

Rung

First Stop Fiction

I’ve written two stories to date about being concussed. This is the first.

Light’s Out

In Between Altered States

A magic realist story about cosmetic surgery from way back in 2010. In Between Altered States was such a cool, little journal in its day.

A PSA About Love

Treehouse

A surreal bit of microfiction from way before Hold Still Fast.

The Hotline for Lonely Men

Digging Through the Fat

A dark story about a late night phone call.

To Have the Ass

Red Fez

Believe it or not, this story about a loser who doesn’t have the ass to pull off chaps was nominated for a literary award.

A Day in the Neighborhood

Pea River Journal

A microfiction suite about people down on their luck. Published in Pea River Journal’s “Worksongs for the Apocalypse” edition. I still have the hardcopy – a great collection I’m happy to be a part of.
