My latest, “Hands-Free Annihilation,” is up at Big Pulp. It’s about a GPS system that gains awareness and turns murderous. Kind of like my own GPS system. Although to be fair, Gabbie didn’t have the mouth on her that this one does.

They were kind enough to publish my newest story, ‘Til Death, a cheery little tale about a new bride and a missing groom. I’m afraid I can’t say anymore about it, other than The Flash Fiction Offensive rocks!! Oh, you wanted to hear about the story? Go read it yourself.

I am a firm believer in education. After all, I married a teacher. And I work at a child care center, where in between the nose-wiping and getoffyourfriendhedoesn’tlikeitwhenyoubounceonhisheadlikeatrampoline, we do manage the occasional teachable moment.

What I’m working on: I’m working on a new story, the plotline of which I’m keeping to myself for right now. Unfortunately, it has an impossible deadline of Tuesday. I want to submit it to the Good Housekeeping Short Story Contest, which is being judged by Jodi Picoult. Grand prize is $3000, and while I’d [...]
