Excerpt
The girl leaned against the door each morning in the single room that had become her new home–-her prison. She repeated to herself, in case she forgot: My name is Amanda Barnes. I’m twenty-six years old. I was born in 1980. I don’t belong here.

Publications
Writing Description
Animal, vegetable, and mineral all at once. Bigger than an airplane and smaller than a breadbox. Able to leap tall concepts in a single paragraph. Not your mother's short stories.
Goals
20,000 words, at least half of which will be different from each other.
I'm thinking of standing by the side of the road: "Support The Arts: Buy Me a Swing Set." Or maybe I'll just ask strangers on the Internet.
