On the Menu this Spring: Fables!


Please check out the March 2010 issue of Spider magazine, which includes publication of my fable, "No Ducks for Dinner." This is a feeding-the-ducks tale told from the duck's perspective.

It's been satisfying to see this story in print, as it was the very first piece I ever sold (in January of 2007!).
