Hatchling

forthcoming in The Georgia Review

20/20

Winner of Yalobusha Review's 2021 Barry Hannah Prize, judged by Raven Leilani:

The author writes with enormous control and feeling about the nature of habit and obfuscation. The language is precise and surprising, attuned to the emotional and scientific terms of art around containment and loss of control. An absolute joy to read.

Flash Flood

Winner of plain china's 2014 Bennington Fiction Prize, judged by Pam Houston:

Contests, I find, are often won in single lines, in single story moments that take the reader's breath away... This writer is exceptionally talented at creating atmosphere, at laying in backstory powerfully and efficiently, at wasting no words and creating a dangerous velocity on the page. This is a writer who trusts her reader to keep up, to leap when she leaps, and I would follow her anywhere.
