Instant Noodles: Gravy

My dark Thanksgiving ballad, That Brown Gravy, appeared in Instant Noodles Volume 5, Issue 3: Gravy, just in time for the holidays. Also includes audio of myself reading the poem. Contains themes of family drama (duh). Check it out here.

 

Breaking the Genre

I have two alternative pieces in Breaking the Genre, published in Nov. 2025 through Nat 1 Publishing: Selvolution in consideration of a runaway text, and Letter to Carl Tanzler by my horroritca avatar Penny Blood.  Find it on Amazon here.

 

We Should Be Allowed to Think

My Interrogation poem was featured in We Should Be Allowed to Think through Peripheral Forms as part of the Fall of Freedom project in Nov. 2025. Feel free to check it out here.

The Best of Carnage House Year 2

Single Issue Voter Souffle, written under my horrorotica avatar Penny Blood, appeared in The Best of Carnage House Year 2, released through Amazon in Nov. 2025 as found here. Please note - this is Carnage House, which should be trigger warning enough, so be aware that this story contains themes of abortion, murder, pregnancy, politics, rape all dealt with in an intentionally irreverent and offensive manner. Read at your own risk.

Ghostlight of Hope

They Wash the Soul Clean, a poetic nature fantasy-based drabble, appeared in Ghostlight of Hope through Wingless Dreamer Publishing in Nov. 2025. You can find it here on Amazon.

 

Cemetery Songs

I have a piece in the new Cemetery Songs anthology, the first book out from Eldritch Cat Press.  I am very pleased to be represented, and am honored to be the closing story with The Wind at My Door.  You can purchase it through Amazon here.

 

Metcalf Sisters

I have a new holiday display at Metcalf Sisters in Newton, trying to encourage shoppers to "This holiday season, give a child the gift of reading with a new friend." I hope it takes off. I have a bunch of extra Squishmallows and new plushies after comic con, nice ones, and a lot of really good quality children's books seeking homes.
