I've published stories 200 words long, and a couple in the 7,500-word range, and all lengths in between as well. I love finding out just how long a story needs to be, and when I think I've found the story's length, may not fully be able to explain why it's so long, or so short--once it's right, it just feels right.(less)

Three Spring Things

Finally–finally!–a story I first imagined in 2017, on a bus in Andalusia while my wife napped on my shoulder, will see the light of day. It’s a long piece, meaning it’s proven a bit hard to place, but it’s finally been accepted by a magazine I’ve wanted to publish with for a literal decade (longer, actually) and has been in edits for a few weeks now. I’m really looking forward to sharing the ultim
