Season Summary: Winter 2023-24
- My poem “Rock with me” was published online with CommuterLit in February.
- I’ve begun posting interviews on my blog. I am delighted to partner with editors, writers, and publishers to bring you an insider scoop on what’s going on in the industry. More interviews coming soon! Make sure you subscribe to stay up to date.
- I received a huge creative boost from participating in the winter 2024 Writing Battle. If you’ve been struggling with imaginative writing, this contest has the right measure of constraints and supports to assist you. There is a fee for participation, but the value for your dollar is high-quality. I’m already registered for the upcoming one in May.
Updates & Work in Progress: Spring 2024
- My visual piece “Sunrise01” will be included in Quibble Lit’s inaugural print issue.
- You’ll find a reprint of my short story “Glycerine” in the March 2024 issue of Blank Spaces Magazine. I am delighted to see this piece revived on the page.

- My visual essay “Beautiful Botanicals” is scheduled for June 2024 release with Blank Spaces Magazine. It features some of my pen & ink daisies. I am excited to see it in print.
What I’m Reading: Spring 2024
- I finished reading C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia. I highly recommend it. Yes, even for adults. There’s a great deal of detail in these stories that can benefit readers of any age.
- After binge-watching the Father Brown television series starring Mark Williams, I’ve decided to read the original short stories by G.K. Chesterton. If you’re intrigued by social-political commentary infused with philosophy along with a solid mystery, Chesterton’s your guy.
And that’s it. Enjoy spring. 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.
