Two foolhardy snowboarders challenge the savagery of mountain weather in the Dolomites. A Ghanaian woman strokes across a hotel pool in the tropics, flaunting her pregnant belly before her lover's discarded wife. 'Pelt' was longlisted in the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award and Semi-Finalist in the Hudson Prize. 'Magaly Park' was Pushcart-nominated in 2014.

The smooth warmth
Of the wooden jetty under bare feet.
Of water swilling around the boat the morning after fireworks, moored in a harbour bay.
How lovely to change continent, change season, change light and breath. I realise how much I have missed movement, water, light. How steathily winter has crept up. And how I am hunched and my bones cold.
I miss the water.
