It’s an absolute pleasure to have my #creativenonfiction featured in JAKE Magazine—especially when my #writing elevates the work of a brilliant #clown like Detto.

You can read Stratigraphy, which follows a young archaeologist through her diary entries, here.
And there’s even more incredible news coming soon!
