My short story, “Good Jordy Good,” was a finalist for Southwest Review’s David Nathan Meyerson Fiction Prize, judged by Ben Fountain. It was published in Michigan Quarterly Review.
“Apartment Mom,” snagged an honorable mention in New Millennium Writings’ short-short fiction contest and was published by Grey Sparrow Journal.
The Review Review included a nice word about one of my flash pieces in its review of The Quotable:
“Also quite moving is the selection of nonfiction here. There are only two pieces, one of which is the flash essay, “The Trees Would Know” by Margaret Eaton. Interestingly, this dark, haunting, memoir essay is written in third person, unlike most of the fiction.“
