I Was Told You’d Finally Listen

What would you do with one more call?

These 28 stories by 20 authors crisscross genres, from satirical retellings of Greek myths to realistic, present-day stories and speculative works set on alien worlds. […] With each appearance of the Phone, the object’s metaphorical weight grows heavier and heavier, and the myriad ways in which characters lose people—to accident, to Covid-19, to environmental collapse—accumulate at a frightening pace. More than the sum of its parts, the book works as a crowdsourced meditation on loss and loneliness in an era of instant connection. An eclectic and engaging collection probing the silence on the other end of the line.

Pop culture Essays

Novels

NaNoWriMo was my inspiration for writing a long-form piece. I finished in 2013 and 2014, but my endeavors in 2015 went unfinished. And for 2016, well, I opted to learn about editing. I will still publish these pieces, someday. Click the link to read one of my favorite short stories that inspired my 2013 NaNoWriMo piece.
