News & Events

In anticipation of my collection of flash and microfiction being published in 2024, I’ve been entering flash stories to contests this year and late in 2022. Results have been good! I’m also happy for my book, Music from a Strange Planet, to have received several book awards. Thank you to all the readers and judges out there who read my work. Your support and comments mean a great deal to me.
