The New Quarterly - "Crows Eat Well"

I wrote a story about prison, running and reckoning back in 2012. It appeared in the States, but never got a Canadian welcome. The story is called "Crows Eat Well" and now appears in the latest issue of The New Quarterly, alongside some awesome work by Nancy Jo Cullen, Russell Smith and Andrew Westoll. Now available in stores and online. Find it soon.

"Self-cleaning Oven" on Burrow Press Review

This is a story about babies and not having babies and hot tubs and waffle houses. A waffle house sink is the most disgusting hot tub you can imagine, so try to avoid that image. "Self-cleaning Oven" will be included in my upcoming collection All We Want is Everything, which will be released in June. Big thanks to Hunter at Burrow Press for working on this story with me.

Everything is So Political - "Stray Dogs"

Originally published by Riddle Fence in 2011, my short story "Stray Dogs" will appear again this spring in a new anthology from Fernwood Press. Everything is So Political features a number of authors from across Canada, including my fellow U of T grad, Matt Loney. Look for it this spring and hopefully buy more than one because you'll want to share it.

EVENT - "Kingston Road"

My short story "Kingston Road" was recently published by EVENT. It is a story about abandoned babies, motels and dead cows. So my usual shtick with all the fixings. You can find awesome work from my friend Spencer Gordon in this issue as well. You can purchase a digital copy or order an issue from the site. EVENT is also available at your local bookstore. Thanks to Andrew Macdonald for pointing me in the right direction with this one.

Xe Sands Reads "The Mother of Jacquelyn Butane"

Back in 2012, Troy Palmer and Will Johnson at Little Fiction put together a flash fiction collection Little (flash) Fiction, filled with a bunch of awesome authors and great work. I helped them edit the project after my short piece "The Mother of Jacquelyn Butane" was selected. Over the past few months, the awesome Xe Sands has been performing and recording readings of each piece. It is finally my turn and I am very happy with the results. Big thanks to Little Fiction and Xe Sands for all the awesome work on this piece

Little Fiction - Year End Lists

I am behind on this stuff, but that's how it goes. Troy Palmer asked me to contribute a list to his year end wrap-up at Little Fiction. Troy has always had my back, so I was happy to participate.
