Join me this Wednesday, March 4, 7:00-8:30PM at Max's Taphouse (737 S Broadway, Baltimore) for the @cincinnatireview.bsky.social AWP off-site flash reading. Thrilled to be part of such a stellar lineup! Then hit me up all week at the bookfair at @theflreview.bsky.social table (T877).

A dream come true to see The Heaven of Animals on the big screen, but an even cooler dream to see Paula Diaz sweeping Spain's awards season for her spellbinding performance. Bravo, Paula!

Thrilled have a 500-word story up today at The Cincinnati Review @cincinnatireview.bsky.social . This story started as an idea for an ending that I texted myself and carried around on a phone for years. Finishing was just a matter of finding a beginning: www.cincinnatireview.com/micros/heart/
