So excited to connect with the wonderfully interesting literary magazine Wallstrait. What an honor to have my short story, "My Remotest Winter" published on their beautiful site!

"Because if you aren’t unsettled, then there’ll be no sublime." I can't believe I've made it this far in life without reading Ali Smith. What a compact, sublime experience, this novel.
