Season Summary: Spring 2023
- My short story “Jubilee” appeared in print with the March issue of Blank Spaces Magazine
- I photographed a dopping of common mergansers that The Signpost [Dorchester] ran in April
- Blank Spaces Magazine posted an author interview with me: Coffee Chat
- Quibble Lit featured my photographs “Pink Tulip,” and “Female Cardinal” alongside audio poems in Issue 10
Updates & Work in Progress: Summer 2023
- My blog is up and running. You can expect a series of short fiction reviews, posts on writing craft, updates and more! Comments are welcome.
- I’m working on a manuscript that will likely be marketed as YA fiction. My intended readership is millennials, but the story is moving in a direction of its own. We’ll discover what these characters have in store for this plot.
- I am looking to acquire a video capture & edit program in order to add more content in video form. Please let me know if you have a recommendation.
What I’m Reading: Summer 2023
- I’ve just finished Jane Friedman’s The Business of Being a Writer which has led me to add Peter Ginna’s What editors do: the art, craft, and business of book editing to my summer reading list. It’s research, really, but still counts.
- I am continuing the Simon & Schuster version of The Bible: Designed to be Read as Living Literature. It’s the KJV presented chronologically in prose form (for the most part) so that it can be read like a novel. That doesn’t mean that I’m binge-reading it, though.
- Elizabeth Hay’s new book Snow Road Station is on my list!
And that’s it. Have a great summer. Please share your comments below. Stay tuned for my next blog post. Wanna get it in your email inbox? Subscribe to stay informed of my newest articles, story reviews, updates, and more.
