A story from my novel-in-progress recently found a home at the terrific Alaska Quarterly Review, and I couldn’t be happier. “Eraser” is told from the point of view of six-year-old Gillian, and features an earthquake, shoplifting, lies of omission, and father-daughter prevarication against the backdrop of southern California’s San Gabriel Valley. Michael Dirda, of The New York Review of Books, calls AQR “one of our best, and most imaginative, literary magazines.” Watch this space for the publication date!
