For paperback fiends, the release date is 4/21! I'm happy to have had the extra months fir hardback to try to find its feet. As most writers and people in publishing will tell you, 2025 was a ??????? year in books.

“Cloisters” by Danny Goodman “It was Paul’s idea to take the day off, which surprised me. He’d promised, just six months ago, that he couldn’t look at me, not any longer.”

So excited to have a short story in one of my favorite places—thank you, @aaronburch.bsky.social and @jessdawn.bsky.social!

(And, as a long-time fan of @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social’s work, I’m incredibly honored to have my story alongside her brilliant artwork! 🤩)
