I’m fortunate to have a number of short stories and poems published in 2025. These are eligible for the Nebula, Hugo, Locus, Ignyte, and Aurora awards, among others, and I’d be grateful if you gave them a read!
My favourite short stories of 2025
The Memory Technician, Small Wonders
~1000 words (5 min)
In a cyberpunk city where some pay to extract their bad memories or sell their good memories to get by, a struggling memory technician encounters an unexpected customer who makes her believe in kindness again.

My favourite poems of 2025
Old Brooklyn Magic, Nightmare Magazine
An eerie portrait of the Brooklyn Bridge area, capturing both a feeling of wonder and unease—for any place with enough character and history can feel like it has an undercurrent of old magic that may ensnare you.
not tied down, Strange Horizons
As our devices lose their physical connections, we may feel we lose our own connections to the world.
A Taste of Clean Water, Small Wonders
The sentiment contained in a droplet of water in a post-climate disaster future that hopefully will never come to be.
