Here are some samples of flash fiction, stories and novel excerpts published over the years. Stuart Dybek selected my story "In the Dark" as the winner in the inaugural "One Book, One Chicago" flash fiction contest sponsored by the Chicago Public Library. Other work has been published in print and online, live and dead, including Annalemma, Curbside Splendor, Flashquake, MAKE Magazine, Monkeybicycle, Pindledyboz, Word Riot, and Hair Trigger, the award-winning student anthology out of Columbia College Chicago, where I earned my MFA in creative writing.
