Omnidawn Semi-finalist!

I got wonderful news about my manuscript, Girl, Cow. It's a semi-finalist for the Omnidawn 2014 Fabulist Fiction Chapbook contest!

It's essentially about a girl who cannot drown and her journey into the sea with a kidnapped cow.

Exciting news!

Yesterday I received the news that Black Krim has been selected as a finalist for the Debut-litzer from Late Night Library! Catherine Lacey and John Darnielle are also finalists. Wow, two huge books and my BK. Incredible. http://latenightlibrary.org/debutlitzerfinalists2015/

Two Fictions in Hobart

These two pieces of mine went up on Hobart last March. I named them "Booby is from Bobo", and "YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN THE DEAD." I'm super happy the editors picked them.

I made a one minute book trailer

Amazing, happy news for one of the rhinos who inspired Land Beast

I came across this post on Facebook:

Some of you may remember Thandi, the courageous rhino who survived a poaching attack back in 2012.

Now she’s making headlines with good news: she’s given birth to a baby calf named Thembi—meaning “hope” in isiXhosa. http://bit.ly/1M5N3K4

How incredible! This makes me so happy!
