Stories from the emotional underworld
I write fiction and personal essays about women in danger, people in transition, and the strange, complicated work of becoming ourselves.
Where unfinished stories and unfinished lives meet.
Exploring the Messy Middles
Essays, fiction, and creative experiments about fear, reinvention, complicated women, and the emotional underworld beneath ordinary life. New posts arrive about twice a month, with occasional behind-the-scenes notes on works in progress.
New writing delivered periodically but never daily and never spammy.
