Things get messy—in the best possible ways—in @juliatrifles.bsky.social Sex Romp Gone Wrong. Sharp, smart, and funny this collection dives into the chaos of desire, identity, and the tangled webs we weave when we’re trying really hard not to feel too much. - www.youtube.com/live/mGhlbj3...

Proud to have a new story, "Mrs. Foxfur," in the Missouri Review. Big thanks to the editors and readers there. This story started out as a fairy tale retelling and kind of morphed into I don't know what. missourireview.com/article/mrs-...

Introducing myself here. My books are SEX ROMP GONE WRONG (Blair 2024), and THE SUM OF TRIFLES (UGAP 2021). I love coffee, cheese, long walks, and costume dramas. Don't post a lot but I like connecting with fellow writers and readers who have a wry sense of humor and a compassionate sensibility.

A photo of a stack of books and two books standing up facing outward. The Sex Romp Gone Wrong book cover features hot pink lettering and a black and white photo of a woman blowing out cigarette smoke that obscures part of her face. The Sum of Trifles has a white book cover picturing a vaguely hourglass shaped porcelain object made of a laser-cut teacup set atop an upside-down teacup. This object is an artwork by Elizabeth Alexander.
