Single-Story Chapbook
(Burnside Review Press, 2011)
Contains one short story: "If You Must Know," published by the Southern Review.
This chapbook won the Burnside Review Press Chapbook Prize. Judge Kevin Sampsell, had this to say about the story: "The author takes a strange premise--a cicada burrows into (and lives inside) the arm of a young girl while she's having sex with her boyfriend under an Oak tree--and beautifully twists it into a tale that goes beyond the typical loss of innocence. 'If You Must Know' drips with the humid sweat of a sexy and mysterious southern gothic, but also examines our young heroine's loneliness and despair in a way that opens up the world in a new, fantastic way. It twitches under your skin like a true living thing."
My thanks to artist Clair Hartmann for creating this amazing cover.
