In recognition of Valentine’s Day this past week, I published my short short, “The Girl With Bags Under Her Eyes,” on Medium. I also have new fiction coming out this spring in Stoneboat Literary Journal, Thrice Fiction and Fleas on the Dog – I’ll be posting links once those go live!

Fiction
My flash piece “Geese” won honorable mention in this year’s Literary LEO short story contest!
Fiction
Since it’s our first snow day of the season here in Louisville, I’ve published my short story, “Snow Day,” on Medium – part of my collection, The Sadie Stories. Enjoy, and stay warm!
Fiction
Just published a Christmas story, “The Time Santa Almost Didn’t Make It To Birchwood Village,” on Medium – part of my collection, (Mostly) True Tales From Birchwood Village. Seasons Greetings!
Essays
In time for the holidays, I’ve posted my essay “The Old Man and the Santa Sprint” on Medium – a fragile ego on an “old man” can be a funny thing!
Plays
Good luck (and break a leg) to everyone at The Bard’s Town Theatre in Louisville KY for opening night of the Ten-Tucky Festival of Ten Minute Plays that includes my play “PMA and the Beast” – the story of an existential camping trip gone slightly awry. If you liked “Squirrels in a Knothole” … you might like this one too!
Fiction
“Sadie Cries” – another of the Sadie Stories – is live now at Cheap Pop; maybe someday I’ll put these all together in one collection.
Plays
Wishing all the best (and break the proverbial leg) to everyone at Artists’ Exchange in Cranston, RI during this last weekend of the One Act Play Festival. I know this has been a trying time for everyone involved in the production. I’m so honored to have “Three Sides” included in this fine lineup of plays. Support local theater!
Podcast
The episode of the podcast Other People’s Flowers featuring my short story “Twenty Good Years” is live now. Spoiler alert: it’s not my voice – I only wish I could speak as eloquently.
Fiction
My piece of flash, “Drunk,” is live now at Pretty Owl Poetry.
