I am always amazed to receive a reminder of how small our world really is: via overseas travel, conversation with a foreign visitor, a special event featuring a foreign of immigrant creative, a translated book on the shelf. And, foreign journals…
I am so thankful The Stockholm Review of Literature has published my short story, “Personals,” alongside a global menagerie of writers originating from Europe to America to Iran. The story follows a web of interconnected strangers plagued by urban alienation and internet safety issues across a nameless online platform.
I am also thankful to artist writer, translator, lyricist and photographer Randi Ward (www.RandiWard.com) for the beautiful and apt cover art to my words. You may click on her image to redirect to my story. Thanks for reading!

I so enjoyed reading Personals this morning! Writing is exquisite … & I love the way you connected the lives. Excellent!

Thank you so much for reading it. I feel like short stories are such a stepchild sometimes, but I write them all the time and am happy people are reading!
Peace and blessings,
