Check out the brilliant podcast @ShortStoryToday. Today's episode features my interview and a reading of my story "Smoke at the End of the World." I so enjoyed talking with Jon DiSavino, who had such smart questions, and his reading of my story (at the 48-minute mark) is perfect.

Jon Fosse winning the Nobel Prize is also a major victory for the Bay Area’s @transitbooks, which began publishing Fosse in 2020. We couldn’t be more proud of Adam Levy and Ashley Nelson Levy, our friends who run Transit Books. Here’s to the power of nonprofit presses!

Join me for a 1.5-hour generative writing session focused on The Engine of Flash Fiction: Openings, Metaphors, and Characters. Make dreading the blank page a thing of the past! We'll look at model texts and hopefully get inspired by 6 total writing prompts! (Inkubator practice)
