My yoga murder story, published in December’s Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. “Melissa Yi’s darkly comic ‘Om’ is centered around a yoga retreat on an urban yacht.”

In Ricepaper Magazine, “Teenage angst meets Chinese legend in this hilarious piece. I love how the writer balances the apathetic voice of the teenage protagonist and the cautionary voice of the protagonist’s mother, who is narrating a classic tale of deception. The result is a witty and original dialogue with a fantastical undercurrent.” —Prism Magazine, Our Favourite Lit Mag Writing of Fall 2014. Eligible for the Aurora Award.

Also in Ricepaper Magazine, Cinderella in ancient China. Where glass slippers are made out of gold, and a fairy godmother swims out of a river. Eligible for the Aurora Award.

Have you ever hated your mother? She does. A short and terrible tale in less than 500 words, in Fiction River Special Edition: Crime. Ellery Queen’s reviewer says, “A sampling of the other contents, including experimental short-shorts by Melissa Yi and M. Elizabeth Castle and a clever turn on the greedy-relatives-want-inheritance bit by Kate Wilhelm, suggest high quality throughout.”
