"Springtime in Missoula," New Story up at Moss.

I've been remiss, despite my gratitude. In November, Moss. brought its newest issue to life, with one of my stories in it, and my internal joy did not translate to an outward announcement. Until now. And so, here we are. My story "Springtime in Missoula" is available for your reading experience in Volume 10 of Moss.

The story started writing itself on a napkin when my family found itself in a Missoula ice-cream shop. And now it's ready.

Moss. is the same wonderful journal that published "Chair, $75 OBO," a story that appeared in my last collection Unexpected Weather Events. I'm honored that the editors deigned to share another of my stories, and am consistently pleased with how fluid and easy the journal's process flows from acceptance to publication--not to mention the beauty of the final product. 

If you live in the Northwest, please find Moss. at a local bookseller; for those outside of our region, the post office will do exactly what you request upon ordering: https://mosslit.com/Subscriptions
