2017 in short stories

I’m going to make this short and sweet: Here are my stories that were published in 2017. I am very proud of them:

Itself at the Heart of Things in Shimmer #38. Dismantling yourself as a defense mechanism is admittedly unorthodox. (A very nice and thoughtful review of it at Quick Sip Reivews.)

Side note! I made a poetry toy as a bonus feature for this story. Dada was a big inspiration for this story, and Dada cut-and-paste is fun: BREAK/MAKE, or, itself at the heart of— poetry.

Three Ways to Ruin Your Best Friend’s Birthday (and How She Fixes It) in Flash Fiction Online in August. This is a short, humorous story about friendship, polar bears, and moving house. (Another Quick Sip review.)

Raise-the-Dead Cobbler in Shimmer #40. Modern-day witches make questionable decisions, text a lot, and bring dead people to life, sort of.
