I’m an Appalachian writer, a queer activist, a non-biological mom, and many other things.

I’ve published short works, read my work in many states and on the radio, won awards, and received grants, but my goal is to get a book on the shelf of all my favorite independent bookstores, in Lexington and beyond. You’ll find most of my work published under Frankie Finley.

My blog posts here will have bits and pieces from pieces I’ve published, tantalizing bits from my current work-in-progress, stories of my travels and adventures, and random bits of my writing life.
