Her fiction has appeared in Salamander, Ninth Letter, The Common, and elsewhere. In 1910, Agnes Carter makes the wrong choice in marriage.

They washed through the house and cast ominous, silent shadows on the walls, then went away as the car dipped before its final approach. It was long after midnight on an early Sunday when the headlights finally appeared. The seclusion of the house added to the imminent horror. The house could not be seen from the road and was accessed by a winding gravel drive that dipped and curved and at night caused approaching headlights to sweep through the front windows and doors as if to warn those waiting inside.
