Non-Fiction
For Confederate Girlhoods: A Women’s History of Early Springfield, Missouri, I assisted in the editing of original source material, and I researched for and wrote a tiny chapter that’s included.
And for Moon City Review 2010: An Annual of Poetry, Story, Art, and Criticism, I wrote the first essay introducing the theme of the collection and presenting a (much too) brief look at the life and ideology of the man the collection pays tribute to, the late Dr. William Burling.
