Hello, my friends, and happy, um … what day is it, Tuesday? I lose track anymore. I haven’t posted lately because I’ve been busy working on some longer pieces, but I have had time to dash off a bit of flash, “The Water”, which is another in what I call my “Sadie Stories” – until I come up with a better name for it (and I still intend on putting all these together into one collection). Anyway, this story, via the link above, just went live today at Pocket Fiction, which has a lot of great writing, so definitely check this website out. I also just recorded a version of me reading this, which may end up on their podcast, and if so, I’ll provide more info. Have a great week!
Announcements
Novella
Big Al’s Books & Pals calls Tryouts a “quick, fun, intense, and even a bit inspiring read.” If you haven’t yet read my novella – which follows one young man’s quest to make the varsity basketball team – what are you waiting for?!!!
Plays
I’m excited to announce that my play SQUIRRELS IN A KNOTHOLE will be part of “Strongbox in the Park: A Festival of Stage and Song” produced by Strongbox Theater this summer, in three consecutive weekends from July 22 – August 7, outside and under the stars at Memorial Park in East Rockaway, NY. If you’re in area then, definitely check out it – just beware of hawks!

Good morning everyone, and Happy Cyber Monday!

Happy Friday! We made it through another week, and to celebrate, I’ve posted another story on my Medium page – “IV” – which is from my chapbook of flash, Three in the Morning and You Don’t Smoke Anymore. If you don’t have that already, why not pick up a copy – and while you’re at it, pick up my latest collection, (Mostly) True Tales From Birchmont Village. Anyway, that’s my little spiel, and have a great weekend y’all!

Hello my friends, and I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I just want to share with you another review of my short story collection, (Mostly) True Tales From Birchmont Village, this one from LEO Weekly which calls it “a sequence of exercises in stylistic voice.” You can check out the entire review HERE, and if you still haven’t picked up your copy yet, now is the perfect time of year to read this around a fire pit, and of course with some s’mores!
