Month: October 2023

My short nonfiction story, “Mingling in the Marsh,” was published in the Maine Natural History Observer this fall 2023, and is available for purchase at the MNHO website. This was a short piece that I wrote about the trail my family and I walk once—if not several times—every day. It holds a special place in my heart, and I am so happy to have been able to show this love by publishing with the MNHO. I encourage all to purchase their journal by becoming a subscriber to the Observatory. They do wonderful, important work, and there are some other fascinating, well-researched articles in the fall 2023 edition.

Publication Journey: I wrote this piece specifically for MNHO, as I was inspired to write by Maine and the crows.

Below I have provided a link to my short fiction story, “Date Night,” which was published in the 2022 Summer Edition of West Trade Review. 

I also interviewed with the Associate Fiction Editor, Jonathan Lindberg, to discuss my writing process and how I came up with this story. This interview is public on the WTR YouTube channel. Additionally, I read my story as part of WTR‘s PostScript Interview series. 

Here is my story, the interview, and my reading! 

Publication Journey: I submitted this piece to the minnesota review and West Trade Review. After it was accepted by WTR, I withdrew it from tmr.
