My Flash Fiction piece, No More Bears has a home in the Pine Hills Review. In 2025 I've had flash fictions Cats in The Freshwater Review and upcoming, Dogs will be out in The Literary Underground in early September.
Cats
and Dogs
and Bears, oh my!
Here's a little history behind The Pine Hills Review
Our history is varied. Established in 2014 in association with The College of Saint Rose as part of its M.F.A. in creative writing program, Pine Hills Review was founded by Daniel Nester and Sarah Sherman. After the M.F.A. program was discontinued, Pine Hills Review began a second iteration in 2019 as an independent journal.
Since the closure of the colle in June 2024, Pine Hills Review (ISSN 2470-8321) continues as a wholly independent and unaffiliated literary journal. We welcome interest from others to help edit the journal as well.
My friend Daniel Nester is on their masthead:
