The new issue of Gold Man Review is now available, and includes my poem “Taste of Temptation.” I really love the cover. That shark fin makes me so happy.

The Week in Review: Reading, Writing, and Abstraction
How was your week? Did you try reading like a writer? Though I didn’t find a lot to apply to my novel from The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill, I did have fun brainstorming unique formats for my novel, and it inspired me to get a copy of S. by J.J.

Every skill, concentration, study or craft has its own terminology. I thought I would add some music to my poetry by looking atContinue reading “National Poetry Writing Month is Here!”
The Rubber Maids Reunite Tonight! A show 20 years in the making.
