Penny-pence for Your Thoughts
Twist in Time Magazine is one of my favorite publications because they focus on stories that play with time. I'm excited my flash story The Collection is featured in their latest issue.

Water-Skiing Dinosaur: Coming Soon!
I think it’s important for women to state their accomplishments loud and with pride, even though it’s not always easy to do so.

Dust Devil is an odd little story. It's no secret I hate (HATE) wind, especially the gritty hot dry wind that blew every single day of my childhood in the Oklahoma panhandle. Grandma June hated it, too, so this story isn't really about her, though she was on my mind when I wrote it. The … Continue reading Dust Devil

Be Sure is a satirical look at our ridiculous health care system, particularly within long-term care facilities. It's featured today in Unlikely Stories Mark V.
