She has two collections of flash fiction published already (The Almost Mothers and 100neHundred) and more on the way.

In this conversation, we discuss flash fiction in general, her work to date, using writing as a form of personal therapy, connecting with readers on a deeper level, what it takes to write a powerful piece of flash fiction, and her writing processes. I highly recommend you listen to it if you are interested in flash fiction.
