Out there's a porchlight where no house should be

My feature with Awst Press culminates with the print release of my newest chapbook, The Wandering House. The story revolves around a boy who may or may not be missing, a girl burned badly, and a family left in the confusion of grief after an encounter with The Wandering House.


Please continue to tune into the Awst Feature through next Friday, 3/4/16. More of my work will be on display, as will some words from my mouth about my stories, and The Wandering House, in particular.
