Oh, the Places You’ll Not Go!
My short essay published in World Literature Today. It centers on living in Lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic and noise, missed milestones, family dinner, and the recent drive-by on our block. You can read it here. Stay well.

Everywhere She Went
Hello, anyone there?
Yikes, it has been a long time since I posted here. My supposedly monthly but actually random newsletter has largely replaced this blog. Click here if you’d like to subscribe to my newsletter. I’ll be sending another one out soon. Meanwhile, back to this post.
Last week The Irish Times published my short story “Everywhere She Went.” It’s gotten a lovely response from readers which means so very much. It’s here, if you’d like to read it. If that whets your appetite for the short story, read this stellar one here from Danielle McLaughlin winner of the 2019 Sunday Times Audible Short Story Award and a Queen.
The world. It is, to quote my oldest daughter, “extra” right now. I’m always here if you need me. Let me know how you’re doing.

The Reading Women 2017 Fiction Award
The 2017 Fiction Shortlist Announced for the
2nd Annual Reading Women Award
The creators of the Reading Women podcast are pleased to announce their 2017 fiction shortlist for the 2nd annual Reading Women Award.
- The Weight of Him (St. Martin’s) by Ethel Rohan
- Stay with Me (Knopf) by Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀

Established in 2016, the Reading Women Award recognizes outstanding books written by or about women. The prize will be given to one fiction and one nonfiction work that embodies the mission of the Reading Women podcast, which is to bring female voices to a wider audience. The nonfiction shortlist will be announced November 15th, and the winners of both categories will be announced December 6th.
About the Podcast
The phrase “women’s literature” is often associated with fluffy novels about women looking for mates or covers with lipstick and glitter on them. It’s high time that women reclaim the phrase. If you look back over the history of literary awards, very few women, comparatively, have received top awards. Only 14 women have won the Nobel Prize for Literature and 31 have won the Pulitzer.
The goal of the Reading Women podcast is to bring previously anonymous women to the forefront of your TBR stack. Each month Kendra Winchester and Autumn Privett pick a theme and then discuss several books in a book club-style podcast. Subscribe today to discover amazing female authors who are giving voice to a part of the world’s population that has been largely overlooked.
You can find all Reading Women episodes in the iTunes Store or wherever you get your podcasts.
