Really proud to have my story "The Bullet Game" listed as a one of the "Other Distinguished Stories" in the Best American Short Stories 2020 anthology, as selected by Curtis Sittenfeld!

Proud to offer free masks for the Houston hospitality community and patrons as part of Whiskey Women Podcast -- read about it here in the Houston Chronicle!

Proud to contribute my story "Femininny" to the Santa Fe Writers Project's issue protesting the abortion ban -- see the quarterly here and read my story here

The Whiskey Women podcast has officially launched! Listen to Blair and I discuss whiskey in our insistently unprofessional, delightfully absurd way on our first episode, The Usual Suspects. 

I'm proud to be part of The Whispering Wall, an online literary art installation space to say the unsaid to those who have moved on. From loved ones who have died or relationships that have succumb to time and distances, we lose people in many ways, but we don’t always have a chance to say goodbye.

It's OOB official -- my short play "Post Script" has been selected for Samuel French's Off-Off-Broadway festival! Click below to learn more!

Thrilled to be named the winner of the Gulf Coast 2017 Barthelme Prize, as chosen by the spectacular Roxane Gay.
