I’ve been obsessed with small things since I was one myself.
In mid-2022, I started a project of 62 stories, flash fictions, and poems during the tail end of a sabbatical. I needed to clear my head, so I started writing short stories and poems to get ideas that wouldn’t quiet on the page. Each seemed to need more. In came miniatures.
So every one of the stories comes with an assemblage, a miniature, a scene, or an entire room. Together, they became the first book in The Miniature Project Collections called We Used To Be Different.
I fell in love as I did worked on this project, so as I finished Another Elizabeth, I made two miniatures to go with it, as well.
I use everything from trash to a 3d-printer to make my visions come to life. My hands don’t always work, so having a ton of options allows me to really push the boundaries of what I could do alone. Some projects take minutes, others months, but that’s another thing I love about it. Like novels, they take the time they take. I can’t rush them. I get to enjoy the ride.
After much consideration, I’ve decided to sell limited edition packets of miniatures. They have miniatures connected to one of my novels in one way or another.
