My family and I survived Hurricane Helene last year.
I wrote this story to process my anger, grief, and confusion. I'm grateful to @rhppress.bsky.social and @curtisippolito.bsky.social for giving it a home. I'd love you to buy this Antho, but even more I want you to vote.

I have waited all summer for these morning glories to bloom. That they decided to pop on the anniversary of Helene and so near my dear friend @theandrewkclark.bsky.social 's book launch means something, I think?

Cold Caller Magazine asked me about the inspiration for my story 'They Light Themselves on Fire' (included in the forthcoming Best American Mystery and Suspense 2025) and, as usual, I am a ray of sunshine.

Flint and I learn about the qualities of a reasonable person while my people play Catan.

Impromptu/forced vacation (due to some house repair complications) is not so bad. Husband and kids are exploring while Flint and I study (and panic about deadlines and lost time) in these digs.

It was great talking to @armandauthor.bsky.social about WHATEVER KILLS THE PAIN, though I spent much of the time talking about how amazing @pauljgarth.bsky.social, @coyhall.bsky.social, @jamesdfhannah.bsky.social, @libbycudmore.bsky.social, and @meaganlucas.bsky.social are 😎

Home from a really intense orientation weekend. Can't say that I'm not wrestling with some imposter syndrome. But, by far the most exciting part was meeting a bunch of brilliant, brave women who are taking on this new challenge midlife to better themselves and their families. #JurisDoctorMom
