My poem "portrait of the artist as a young gorgon" will appear in an upcoming issue of Penumbric! The poem began life as a half-written short story, inspired by the Hammer film The Gorgon. (I couldn't figure out how to make the story work, but maybe someday I will.) It's not the first time I've turned a failed short story into a poem.

Meanwhile, I'm nearly done polishing my novel Thank You for Sending Me an Angel. With any luck, I will be able to start querying agents in the next few weeks.

March is my birthday month, and for the first time in years, I celebrated my birthday in-person with friends! It was really nice.
