What's New!!!

 Things are getting pretty exciting around here.


Be on the lookout for two more stories from my collection-in-progress coming in the next couple of weeks. Books and Pieces Magazine will have "It's Later Than You Think" in early October. And Confetti Magazine will have "Two Steps Ahead" on November 1. 

On the poetry front, the next issue of Nixes Mate Review will include my poem "So Much Depends" sometime in October; eMerge Magazine will have "Lost In The Fall" on 10/14; and I have work in three different upcoming Anthologies. 

-------------------------------------------------

I've got three!!! poems in this exciting new anthology, Many Voices ~ One Stage, from Slightly Offbeat Poets: 

“Slightly Off-beat Poets,” is a community of creative writers who enjoy each other’s company, and are more than willing to share the stage with one another for the pure joy of it. No one is a critic or looking to be in the spotlight; only to share the mic and be inspired by each other’s ideas and unique ways of expressing thoughts, life observations, humor, and heartache through their writings and conversations.


Many Voices ~ One Stage is a sampling of what happens when this cast of creative and often colorful “characters” share the stage with one another. For those who have experienced an SOP Open Mic event, this book will feel very familiar. For readers who have not yet had that pleasure, this may just inspire you to want to add your voice to theirs.
