I never anticipated that the hardest part of publishing for me was handling what came after.

My FIL dedicated his life to the Army. He should be in hospice care now. Except we can't afford private after his savings have been depleted to care for his dementia. He should be in a VA hospital, should've been this whole time, but we discard our veterans when we're done with them. No open beds.

Don't judge by the box office numbers, Digger was phenomenal.

The newest issue of Epistemic Literary ( @epistemiclit.bsky.social ) is available now! It includes my poem “Highline” among a lot of other wonderful pieces, which you can read at the link below: epistemiclit.com/current-issue

Highline
I don’t know how to answer
Your questions about God
Or the meaning of it all
But I can say
That my muscles ache
And sweat stings my eyes
As I walk
this dirt path
Between wildflowers and pine
Yes…
I could proclaim the miracle
Of a cool breeze
Caressing my cheek
Beneath the sun’s relentless gaze
Or meditate
On the hymn of a ground squirrel
Sounding his barbaric yawp
Across alpine meadows
I could testify of burning lungs
That gulp for oxygen
Or the way a drop water
Soothes chapped lips
Like a loving mother
Kissing a fevered brow
I could stand at the edge
Of this rocky outcrop
And proclaim it all
To the glacial valleys below
But the trail goes on
And the hour is late
So, I place one foot
In front of the other
And continue on my way

I have a flash piece in the latest issue of Epistemic Literary. Loved the theme the editors chose, but even more so, loved working with the editors to get this out in the world. @epistemiclit.bsky.social

He's now officially classified as an invertebrate and we can just move forward having no respect for him. He'll be fine no matter what.

Just putting it out there to my fiction submitters @epistemiclit.bsky.social this issue, you might notice a little less personalization in my responses. It's not a permanent change. I'm just struggling right now and have had to pull back for my own sanity right now.
