Welcome! I am a Midwest-based short-story writer focusing on dark speculative tales (weird fiction, horror, and sci-fi). I also write literary fiction and a bit of humor. Oh, and I write angsty, spicy romance novels as Fiona Embers (see Fiona’s website and Amazon author page).

COMING SOON
My debut short-story collection, DANGLING, is coming out on October 1 from Anxiety Press. Twenty-eight stories about people on the precipice, straddling absurdism, literary realism, and horror, with a splash of the supernatural. See more here.
If you poke around this website, you will find:
- publications (short fiction, nonfiction, and even a little bit of poetry, much of it free to read)
- resources for short-fiction writers
- blog with publication news and the occasional craft essay
My short fiction can be found in various magazines and anthologies (see Publications). Some of the anthology covers are below — aren’t they pretty? You can find them all through my Amazon author page.
