The Halloween issue of Yellow Mama is out! It has my short horror story, “The Wasp and the Fig.” Can you believe it– as with the Queer Weird West Tales anthology, my story is first in the lineup! It is paired with art by Sean O’Keefe (above). Many thanks to editor Cindy Rosmus.
 
Excerpt
 
The patient, Mia, was already in her pajamas when Karim went to her room with sensors, tape and adhesive. Snapping on a pair of rubber gloves, he explained, “I have to attach all these sensors to you. During the sleep study, we record your brain waves, the oxygen level in your blood, breathing, heart rate, and eye and leg movements. Okay?”


My poem, “Emotional Labor,” is up at the Rye Whiskey Review. Thank you to John and Scott!

I did a fun interview on Dr. Andy’s Poetry & Technology Hour on KDVS 90.3. If you were unable to tune in to the live show, the interview is now available as a podcast. Many thanks to host Andy Jones and producer Katerina Hanks!
