Hello, my friends, and Happy Friday! We made it through another week. If you’re looking for something to read this weekend, I’ve posted a new short story to my Medium site – “Karaoke Night.” This is from the exclusive e-book version of my chapbook, Three in the Morning and You Don’t Smoke Anymore (Insomnia Edition). And if you’re looking for something to listen to while you read it, I’ve also curated a playlist on Spotify to accompany this book. And speaking of books, the e-book version of my novella, Tryouts, is on sale this week for 99 cents – to coincide with a certain basketball tournament that’s going on right now!

Hello, my friends, and Happy Friday! We made it through another week, and spring is just around the corner. If you’re looking for something to read this weekend, I have a new short story, “Dreams,” that’s featured in the current issue of The Ocotillo Review. This is a piece which, for contractual reasons, didn’t make it into my collection, All The Things She Says, but who knows, maybe eventually in an expanded version (and I’ve already picked out the alternative cover below – what do you think?). And speaking of All The Things She Says, I just posted another story from that, “Roommates,” on my Medium page, so check it out and if you like it, maybe buy the book!

Happy Valentine’s Day! In the spirit of this holiday, I’ve just released my new chapbook – ALL THE THINGS SHE SAYS – a collection of sixteen short stories first published nonsequentially in lit mags and journals over a span of seven years to tell the story of a couple navigating the detours and roadblocks of life. It’s available now on Amazon, for Kindle Unlimited, or from your favorite independent bookstore [ISBN: 978-1-7375801-5-7]. And check out this page for some extra content, including a playlist I’ve curated that sets the vibe for this book!

Hello everyone, and Happy Friday! We’ve made it through another week, and I’ve got some exciting news. I just posted a new short story on my Medium page, “Postcard.” This is part of a collection that I’ve been working on for a while, which I was originally going to call The Sadie Stories, but instead, I’m calling All The Things She Says. These are sixteen stories that I’ve published nonsequentially in literary journals and magazines over a span of seven years, assembled together for the first time, that tell the story of a couple as they navigate the ups and downs of life during their more than thirty-year relationship. It will be available for presale soon, and it releases, fittingly enough, on February 14!

Hello, my friends, and Happy November 1st!

So make some s’mores, and get a copy NOW, at Amazon, for Kindle Unlimited, or order from your favorite independent bookstore [ISBN: 978-1-7375801-4-0]

And if you haven’t bought a copy of the print version yet (and why haven’t you?!!!), I just posted on my Medium page a story from that, “Sometimes You See That Girl.” Have a great rest of the week!
