“Tender” is about a veal farm, crispy duck, an ethics class, and an unconventional love affair. I’m so grateful to Pembroke Magazine for publishing this story.

So thrilled to be in the new issue of @miraclemonocle.bsky.social. “BUNKERS” (my most experimental story yet) explores the whiplash of our current existence, particularly social media, where hilarity coexists with horror. Link in bio.
