About

I’m the author of the story collection STAGGERWING, and the novels WAVEHOUSE and THE TANTALIZING TALE OF GRACE MINNAUGH and DAWG TOWNE. and ALMOST DEADLY, ALMOST GOOD, a linked story collection based on the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Heavenly Virtues. You can read my stories in journals like Lost Balloon, The Pinch, Joyland, Five South and BULL, and in numerous anthologies. Even though I’m not thrilled by the sound of my own voice, you might like it. If so, you can hear me read my stories at The Talking Book, Micro Podcasts, Elevator Stories, and No Contact. I split my time between Brooklyn and Montauk, NY. where I live with my husband the sculptor Daniel Wiener and our dog Ollie.

My latest review:

And a rave it is, for Almost Deadly, Almost Good in Glassworks Magazine.

My latest stories!!!!

“Casual Pinch, 1992” (inspired by the photo “Candy Cigarette” by Sally Mann) won a prize! Third place in the Fractured Lit 2022 Micro Contest. It is super short and I’m very proud of it. Give it a read: Casual Pinch, 1992

“Send Me a Word” was selected from a pool of 700 submissions to be one of five incredible flash stories in Issue Five of Five South. It is also super short. Give it a read: Send Me a Word

My latest interview!!!

I have long been a fan of Oldster Magazine, so when I was invited by Sari Botton to do the Oldster Magazine Questionnaire, I was, like, hell yeah. Here it is, chock a block with fun photos and facts: This is 64.5

Oh and duh, if you didn’t know already…

My latest book!!!

Almost Deadly, Almost Good, a collection of sins and virtues out now from Word West Press. Buy it anywhere you like to buy your books, but try and stay away from the big evil A place if you can. If you can’t avoid the quick click, I understand. I just ordered some coffee filters from them, so, I feel you.
