My fiction has been shortlisted for several literary awards, including the Adelaide Literary Award, the Gertrude Stein Award, the OWT Short Story Prize, among others, and has been published by the Canary Press, the Dr. T.J. Eckleburg Review, Barrelhouse Magazine, Bridge Eight, and more. I live with a diabetic dog above a duckpin bowling alley somewhere in Baltimore, where I work as a special needs paraeducator to support my writing.
