I wrote this piece – “Robin Williams, and Being ‘Almost There'” – shortly after he died six years ago today about a very brief, yet also very special, encounter I had with him that has stayed with me ever since.
Announcement
I’m excited to be returning to one of my fave lit mags, Fleas on the Dog, where I’ve written the intro to a really good play called “Barren Landscape” by the playwright Steve Gold – it’s a bittersweet tale of a daughter and mother coming to terms with the mother’s early stages of Alzheimer’s. The issue will go live next month.
In the meantime, my chapbook, “Three in the Morning and You Don’t Smoke Anymore,” is out now and widely available, including at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. And if you already have it, and read it, and liked it, good reviews on Amazon or Goodreads are always appreciated!

Chapbook
Three in the Morning and You Don’t Smoke Anymore is now widely available, including on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Goodreads (and your local bookstore might be able to order it for you too). Some links are included on the Chapbook page. Also, I am now a Goodreads author, which means, among other things, that you can log on and ask me questions about my chapbook, my writing or just whatever (and also check out the new dramatic picture!) – just don’t make your questions too difficult 😉

Here it is everyone – my chapbook is now available on Amazon. Happy Friday!
Plays

I recently licensed one of my plays – “Out on a Limb” which was originally performed a few years ago at the Kentucky State Fair – to Drama Notebook which, among other things, provides scripts for elementary, middle school and high school students, and I just had to share this fun cover art they came up with! More information, including an excerpt from this play, can be found here.
