My short story “A Heart Within Me” is out in Tough. Thank you to Rusty Barnes for the opportunity!

I’m excited that my short story “The Old Man of The Promised Land” appears in the current edition of Solstice.

Thank you to Marjan Kamali—check out her new novel, The Stationary Shop—for a fantastic editor’s note!

I’m also thrilled to be included in an issue with Lynne Griffin, whose work I’ve long admired.

I’m excited to share that my short story, “Love in the 21st State,” is out in the Valparaiso Fiction Review. Thank you to Jon, Ed, Jessica, Mark, and everyone on the VPR team.

My short story, “The Cobbler and the Acolyte,” was published in McSweeney’s No. 52. Along with several of the contributors, I participated in a reading at McNally Jackson Books in New York City.

I first drafted this story more than 10 years ago, during a break from revisions of Zinsky the Obscure. Jonesing for some U.S. history, I picked up all three Shelby Foote Civil War books from the public library. Something in those readings prompted me to research the life of the younger Lincoln, from the perspective of those who knew him before he was famous. I’ll say no more about the story for now, but I look forward to sharing more details about it when it appears in December in the Valparaiso Fiction Review.
