Anthologies

This is a charity anthology. All work to the anthology is donated. I both have a story in it and I was one of the slush readers.

“WE ARE NOT THIS” Available in Paperback and on Kindle

Over two dozen writers from North Carolina or with deep ties to the Tarheel State band together to raise money for LGBTQ charities in Charlotte and North Carolina as a response to the NC General Assembly’s passage of HB2, the “bathroom bill.”

We are not discrimination.
We are not hate.
We are not fear.
We are not oppression.

We Are Not This.

Includes my short story “Threshold Sanctuary”.
