My last name might mean “stump leg.” That or, one who resides behind a stump. These are both somewhat accurate.
I write short fiction and poetry.
I review short fiction on my blog, Short Story Review.
I curate an annual Art & Words collaborative show in Fort Worth, Texas. Submissions are currently closed until March 1, 2014; see the Art & Words page for details on how to submit.

- “An Exodus of Wings”
forthcoming from Daily Science Fiction
When I moved back to Denton, Texas, from Eugene, Oregon — where I lived for two years — I was reintroduced to one of Texas’ finer pests: the roach. Our new duplex apartment was teeming with them; it wasn’t all bad, however, because after we dealt with the problem, I wrote the short story “An Exodus of Wings.” This story will be sent out to the DSF e-mail subscribers on Friday, May 24, 2013, and will appear on the website one week after.
- “The Ferryman”
forthcoming from Goblin Fruit
I’ve always been fascinated by mythology, and I love retellings which give a more modern spin on classic myths. My poem “The Ferryman” is a take on the myth of Charon, who ferries the dead across the rivers Styx and Acheron and will be appearing in the Spring issue of Goblin Fruit.
- “The Werewolf”
forthcoming from Hungur
A reprint originally published in University of North Texas’ undergraduate literary review, North Texas Review, my poem “The Werewolf” will be appearing in the April 30, 2013, issue of Hungur.
- “Graffiti”
forthcoming from Spiderweb Salon: The Collaboration Issue
A flash fiction written in collaboration with photographer Michael Leza, “Graffiti” will appear in Denton’s own Spiderweb Salon‘s Collaboration Issue, to be released on Friday, May 24th, 2013. Spiderweb Salon is a local reading/performance/art series. If you’re in the DFW area, please do come and check out a show sometime.
