Featured Short Stories
One day I’ll write a cookbook…
Sure, I write… but I also cook. Until I actually get around to writing that cookbook, you’ll find many of my favorite recipes — everything from entrees & side dishes to desserts & cocktails — in my recipe archive.
Serial Stories
Think of serial stories like a riveting weekly TV drama. The narrative plays out over time, rather than cramming a beginning, middle & end into one short story or novella.
Serials are among my favorite stories to write, because I don’t have to decide how it will end before introducing the story and its characters to you.
If you don’t like the story of your life, it’s never too late to rewrite the narrative.

Memoirs of a Nobody
I have lived a bit of a life. It’s been a life full of stories; some funny, some sad, some downright unbelievable. From time to time I’ll share some of those stories with you.
The Fun House
Not everything I write falls into a typical fiction or nonfiction category. They’re not really stories and they’re not really essays. They might be movie reviews or my thoughts about an ugly pair of shoes or a stupid tweet I saw recently. They don’t really fit into any particular subject area. They’re just… for fun.
There’s a hell of a distance between wise-cracking and wit. Wit has truth in it; wise-cracking is simply calisthenics with words.
Dorothy Parker
Selected Poetry
I am not a poet. And I definitely know it. See? But that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the work of bona fide poets. This is where I’ll feature some of my favorite poems.
