Honored to have a short story in the new issue of Bennington Review alongside stellar writers! Order a copy or check it out at a library to read my story "Tempting Fate" about a strange woman who lives on the edge of town (and possibly a giant coywolf).

25$ from everyone will be enough to rebuild our family life
The genocide in Gaza has ended, and I found myself without a home, without a city, and everything around me past, present, and perhaps future is destroyed. I am trying to rebuild my life, and I hope you will support me, even in a small way.
