Friends, I have some links to share today! I was a guest on two podcasts recently, and I was part of a flash fiction reading event last week that was recorded. :) It has been such a joy sharing and talking about my work with wonderful fellow authors and industry professionals, and I really, really appreciate everyone who has invited me to various podcasts and events!
DOG-EARED NIGHTMARES PODCAST
L.P. Hernandez is a fellow author from the My Dark Library novella series (published by Cemetery Gates Media with Sadie Hartmann)! His novella, Stargazers, was the first published in the series, and it is SO good—I hope you all consider picking up a copy if you haven’t already!
L.P. was kind enough to invite me to join him as a guest on his podcast, Dog-Eared Nightmares! Last Friday eve, we chatted about Bound Feet, being newer to horror, diaspora feelings, writing things that make you feel vulnerable, and more. I also shared tips for submitting short stories and advice for new horror writers. I had a blast, and I’d be thrilled if you gave it a listen!

CUTTHROAT QUEENS PODCAST
I’ve been listening to Cutthroat Queens with Brett Mitchell Kent, Elton Skelter, & Chelsea Pumpkins from the start, so I was thrilled when they invited me to be a guest on the show last month!
I joined Brett, Chelsea, and fellow guest author Emma E. Murray to talk about our respective books (Bound Feet for me, Exquisite Hunger for Emma), as well as our writing processes, book recommendations, and what it’s like writing dark stories. It was especially fun since we recorded on Emma’s book release day, so we were able to celebrate with her!
Listen to “Episode 6.5, Summertime Sadness,” which includes our conversation along with a chat between Elton and D.A. Holmes (Coming Out of the Coffin)!

SPACE COWBOY BOOKS PRESENTS: FLASH FICTION READING WITH AUTHORS FROM FANTASY MAGAZINE
Last Tuesday, I joined fellow authors Sam Kyung Yoo and Moses Ose Utomi for a flash fiction reading of our respective stories in Fantasy Magazine! We were joined by host Jean-Paul from Space Cowboy Books and Arley Sorg, co-editor of Fantasy!
It was a fun, short little event (~20 min total) and I thoroughly enjoyed both Sam and Moses’ stories. The event was recorded, so you can watch/listen at the link below! You can also read my story, “Harvest of the Deep,” on the magazine’s website. If you’re curious, I also shared a fun little behind-the-scenes post about this story on Instagram here. :)
P.S. If you’re in the Joshua Tree, CA area, check out Space Cowboy Books! They’re a very cool indie bookstore that sells used & new books with a SF focus. And if you don’t live around there, they have a lot of cool online events and a podcast you can check out on their website.
