Looks like I'm going to have a story out in audio in the summer. More details after the contract is signed.
These last few weeks have been wonderful for short story revisions. Last week finished final edits on my high stakes story about a worm going back and forth across a driveway (out in a few months) and have now been working on my southern gothic ghost story, the closest to horror I've written.

Friends, I'm teaching a class. It's all about writing interiority, and it's a subject I'm passionate about. It's an elusive topic and I've worked hard to make it concrete and accessible, as I consider it the lifeblood of prose fiction and a key component of voice. Here's a video introduction:
Also, HELLO!
Lol, what's socmed? I feel so out of it.

Hello everyone. Long time no post. Some of you know I was a full-time caregiver to my elderly mom starting in 2019. She passed away in Aug 2024, and I've been laying pretty low since then. But I'm going to try to be out and about more in the new year. Here is tonight's sunset on my evening walk.

Here's Vivaldi meeting my mom yesterday. Still on Target to bring him him Wednesday at noon.
This is Vivaldi. I will be picking him up to bring him to his forever home on Wednesday.

I love these!

RIP, Tara, aged 20, my mom's longtime companion and guardian, who was also a sweet friend to me as I've cared for my mom for the last four years.
I'm at a B&B for a week, and these are my temporary companions, Pudding and Cookie.
I love them!
This pic is from a while ago, but this is what my writing life sometimes feels like.
I'm so here for this.
"Story! Song! Vehicle! On/off!" My favorite part.
This one was a little while ago, but I'm also rather proud of "The Augury of Bats," at Tahoma Literary Review.
