I'm so happy to have a story published in the current issue of Alaska Quarterly Review! Many thanks to the editor, Ronald Spatz, for taking the time to read my story last year, and for selecting it. When Mariesa Bus and I started working through my stories together, this is the first one I shared with her. It was after she edited "Graces, Fates" that we decided to workshop the whole collection. Her insightful edits helped open up places in the story I hadn't seen before. Thank you, Mariesa.

My sister, Siri (English Major and teacher!), dedicated time to a close reading of my collection last year and her thoughtful notes and comments are helping guide me through what I hope are my final revisions. This publication is a good step along the way to sharing what I've been working on; maybe there will be more to come.

If you'd like to support Alaska Quarterly and read my story, visit their site and look for the Winter/Spring 2017 issue which you can order there. I also have an extra copy, of course, for good borrowers nearby!
