When “Old Man Proffitt” was published in The Museum of Americana a while back, I had no idea my story, set during the Iranian Revolution of 1979, would rhyme with the march of time. themuseumofamericana.net/2023/07/11/a... #shortstory #literaryfiction #iran #war #oil

I attended the 2025 James River Writers Conference. Along with the keynote address by Angie Kim regarding writing later in life, there were many notable panels exploring the writing life.

Recently, I undertook the task of moving back to my hometown. Had I not made this exhausting yet exhilarating effort, I would have been filled with regret for the rest of my life. Now, every morning, I awaken to a view of one of Richmond’s community gardens.

I recommend “The Sweetest Girls” by Elaine Palencia. Like all the work in Women Speak, this story is not full of stereotypes conjured by a politically opportunistic man. Instead, these are the Appalachian voices of strong, real women who value their heritage. Women Speak Volume 7 a.co/d/dz99rDb

Hi. I received blue-sky wings on 12/20/23. My fiction has appeared in many literary magazines. I am currently at work on a novel. Keeping up with social media is a Sisyphean task. Here’s hoping the skies in this site remain in reach and blue. #amwriting #writingcommunity
