I’m a writer from Texas living in Brooklyn, NY. My work has appeared in The Los Angeles Review of Books, The Brooklyn Rail, Electric Literature, Publishers Weekly, and elsewhere. After my daughter was born, I went back to school to get my MFA in creative writing at Columbia University. I am at work on a memoir about mothers, ghosts, and four generations of Texas women.

I’m a singer-songwriter and indie musician. You can listen to my music on Spotify, Bandcamp, and other streaming services.

Find out when I release new music, schedule shows, and publish writing on my nascent Substsack, Randle In The Wind.

In 2011, my partner and I opened Shorty’s Pizza Shack, a college dive bar and slice shop in Waco, TX. Our second location opened in 2023.
