Recent work has appeared in DIAGRAM, Broad!, Gigantic Sequins, and The Collagist. She is currently in the process of finding a home for her first novel, a multimedia text that tells the story of three generations of women whose lives have been overshadowed by abuse, and fractured by the ever widening gulf between keeping up appearances and the secret cruelties of family life in 20th century America.
