Best Small Fictions 2017

Honoured that my short story 'B-R-E-A-K' has been nominated for the Best Small Fictions 2017 anthology. The anthology will be guest edited by the incredible Amy Hempel, which only makes it even more exciting to have been nominated. In the excitement I've found myself re-reading her work and her brilliant interview with The Paris Review.

Most of the time you don’t really hear it. A pulse is a thing that you feel. Even if you are somewhat quiet. Sometimes you hear it through the pillow at night. But I know that there is a place where you can hear it even better than that. Here is what you do. You ease yourself into a tub of water, you ease yourself down. You lie back and wait for the ripples to smooth away. Then you take a deep breath, and slide your head under, and listen for the playfulness of your heart.

– Amy Hempel, 'Tub'
