Short Fiction

Thank you for your interest in my short stories! All of my published short stories, flash fiction and poetry are listed below. When I have stories accepted by magazine, I list the titles with a link to the magazine that has accepted them. I have translated some of my stories in to Japanese, which you can find here.

Stories are sorted alphabetically by genre.

Fantasy

“Clockwork” in Germ Magazine [NEW!]

There was no home and no job for her in town. There was only the challenge.

Flash Fiction and Poetry

“Alright” in 50-Word Stories

“Heart” in Adelaide Magazine April 2018 issue

“I Traveled” in Adelaide Magazine April 2018 issue

Humor

“The Inadvertent Shopper” in Germ Magazine

“You come, you buy. My store policy.”

Horror

“The Mirror Affair” in Denizens of Darkness (ed. Herika Raymer)

Sometimes, your greatest fear is your reflection; and that’s not a metaphor.

Literary/General

“Beatrix’s Mistake” in CommuterLit

Beatrix could spend hours watching the little ones squirm and twist as they waited to grow.

“Flight” in Scarlet Leaf Review

I remember how the sky came close, and I thought that I might be able to reach out and touch it. I was totally and utterly free.

“Maple Wood” in Eunoia Review

The world was not quite so vivid anymore, but it came close enough for me.

“Phone Lines” in Linguistic Erosion

They are author and illustrator…and so much more.

Romance

“Blue-Blonde Sea” in Suddenly Lost in Words, Vol. 2

Miah’s first love was the sea—or a girl very much like it.

“Maid of Honor” in Germ Magazine

So this was what it felt like when a heart broke.
