Polar Borealis story

 

I have a story in the new issue of Polar Borealis, which is free to read online:

It is a very short little piece which I thought of as whimsically dystopian when I submitted it last September. A lot has happened since then, and I'm not sure if the story is more or less relevant now. If you take the time to read it, maybe let me know what you think.

Cradle To Stage 2025

 

My script, 'Misfortune', based on the Sicilian folktale by Agatuzza Messia, is going to be included in the Cradle to Stage reading series at Edmonton's Walterdale theatre. It is the story of an evil fate faced with wit, kindness, and a bit of magic. It will be one of three scripts presented on Tuesday, May 20 and Saturday, May 24, directed by Donna Call and read by a team of talented volunteers. Walterdale also sponsored dramaturgy sessions with Beth Graham to help improve my script before sending it to the readers. I have been thoroughly impressed with everyone involved and am confident the evening will be well worth the low $10 ticket price. Tickets are available now through the Walterdale theatre website: https://www.walterdaletheatre.com/65th-season/from-cradle-to-stage-new-play-festival/
