New Publication: "The Presbyterian Settee"
My story "The Presbyterian Settee," shortlisted in the 2025 History Through Fiction Short Story Contest, is included in this new anthology from History Through Fiction. The publisher says: Spanning generations in upstate New York, this story follows the unlikely journey of a simple piece of church furniture as it passes through scandals, secrets, and shifting loyalties. From 19th-century church politics and Freemason intrigue to a drifting teenager in the 1980s, the settee becomes a silent witness to a village’s transformations. A poignant meditation on memory, community, and the objects that bind us across time.
