A mysterious boy who never takes off his jacket. A temple where men talk directly to angels. An extremely boring college economics course. Curiosity gives way to confusion as our nameless, genderless narrator learns the reason behind their classmate's hunched posture and reluctance to remove his coat. In a world where the truth seems divinely ordained, sometimes changing the mind is an even greater task than changing the body. This 5,900-word short story occupies a queer, dreamlike space between fantasy and reality. Featured on the @StoriesUndiscovered "Short & Sweet Reading Treats" list!

Currently in the process of being published! The half-dwarf daughter of a human king, Branwen struggles to find her place in a world that sees hybrids as abominations. She's smart, kind, and gifted with magic, but to her father, she's nothing more than a mistake. When an allied land unexpectedly declares war, experimenting with dark magic seems the best way to save Branwen's kingdom and gain her father's approval--but she'll have to compromise her morals to do it. As she delves deeper into the practice of dark magic, the line between right and wrong begins to blur, leaving her to wonder if the ends really do justify the means.
