Bio
I'm a creative writer in the way that I write. I hold the pen in this unique and creative way you've never seen. The content which I write... well, it's still to be determined if that's any good.

Secrets Held By House's Walls
It wasn’t a big house or a small house. It was modest. It wasn’t an extravagant neighborhood or a poor neighborhood. It was pleasant. Except for the bend at the end of the street that was perpetually dark… that’s where the house was.

The Main Mane in Maine. Top Story - August 2023.
This story was originally posted on Medium. Everyone knows about the small pride of lions that roam the woods here in this small, northern Maine town. Few of us have ever seen them. One time I thought I did… but no… it was just a few deer, thick and paunchy, with their heads lowered for a brief moment.

Choosing Between Two Stories
Oh my goodness! I was sitting there, going back and forth over my choices. Which do I want to choose? I can make a case for both of them! I don't know which to go with but I need to choose just one. I was thinking, "Who could I ask for help, choosing between two stories?"

Peggy: The Guinea Pig
I was outside feeding the birds when one of my neighbors in my building came outside and we began to talk. I asked her how things were, what was new, the usual questions in conversation. She had an answer that was far from usual, though.

Joey: The California Desert Tortoise
It was a typical February day, I was working from home, busy on the computer. Evelyn called me. I picked up and our conversation was definitely not one of the top five conversations I would’ve expected. Not top 10, top 50, top 100. Pretty unexpected.

Master List of Publications. Top Story - August 2023.
I’ve been submitting fiction to publications for about two years now and it has been a process that just keeps developing. In the beginning, I wasn’t sure where to start. I found a small list of 10 or so publications online and started with those. Over time I have found more lists in various places that people have compiled. Usually lists of 10-20 publications. I’ll find an odd one here or there… I’ve gotten recommendations from other writers on Vocal… on Medium… and I have now compiled my own list of 85 publications that I have submitted to or plan to submit to. (Thank you to ALL who have provided me with places!)

Problems Buying Alcohol. Top Story - August 2023.
I had just been to the store and bought myself some bourbon and a decently priced bottle of wine along with some groceries a day ago. The wine was good so I decided I needed more. I felt stupid for not having bought two bottles to begin with… but I was already buying a bottle of wine and a bottle of bourbon and sometimes it’s a problem when I buy “too much” alcohol at once. A stupid problem. A problem I am partially to blame for. But a problem nonetheless. I'll explain what exactly the problem is momentarily.
