A letter that I wrote advocating for a ban of coyote killing contests in Maine has just been published in the Portland Press Herald! I wrote this as part of a letter writing campaign by the volunteers for Maine Friends of Animals, as banning coyote killing contests is one of the organizations’ main focuses for this year. The letter can be found at this link, and is also linked on the Maine Environmental News website. I hope that this helps to bring more attention to this issue, even if others do not share my same views on the subject. It is important for the public in Maine to be educated about.

Just received my copy of Third Wednesday’s Winter 2025 print issue! This piece contains my short story, “The Smaller Me Inside Of Me Who Could Have Lived Here,” which was initially published this fall on their website. It is a beautifully done publication and I am so pleased that the editors made the piece available both online and in print.

My short fiction story, “Hello, Happiness,” is now available to read in the newest issue of The First Line! I was struck by the concept behind this publication; every story uses the same first sentence—for the issue containing my story, the line was: “The parking lot was empty.” I found myself immediately inspired by this hook.

My piece is a little unsettling, a little sci-fi, and a little romance. I am so pleased that it was well received by the editors (my piece was one of eight works selected out of nearly seven hundred submissions! so exciting!), and I hope that others enjoy reading it as well. The hardcopy and PDF are available for purchase at this link.
