Tunnel Woman

My story "Tunnel Woman" in new issue of Midway Journal.
"He felt loved by shadows he didn’t know were dreams or people. Birdsong became their soundtrack as they left the tunnel and disappeared into trees to become one with the woods and the mountains." midwayjournal.com/tunnel-woman/

Transgressive art is not specifically meant to be enjoyed or even appreciated by the viewer. The whole point of it is to expose the hypocrisy of society and to question the accepted "norms" of society.

My new book, Body of Evidence, will be published in October by @unboundedition.bsky.social. An artistic experiment in writing about violence, the book examines what can’t be said, what's dangerous and necessary to say, why some people remain silent and what silence means in the face of survival.
