What are you working on?

Right now, I am expanding a short story that wants to be a novella, and am doing promotion for the Motherhood in Precarious Times anthology (Demeter Press, 2018), of which I am co-editor, along with U.S. professors Barbara Schwartz-Bechet and Dannielle Joy Davies.

I am also starting on a longer fiction project that may or may not grow to be a novel, and am searching for a publisher for a collection of my poetry. New poems still also seem to keep happening in between all of these things.
