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. 

Buy a signed copy of the book directly from me and indicate in "Note to Seller" section to whom (your name or someone else's?) I should sign the book.
