And the bulk of them are short-story collections or anthologies. (Full disclosure; I know some of these authors and I’m actually mentioned in a story introduction in one of the books!) In no particular … Read more

Sometimes an appreciative reader spots something I’m completely unaware of, or helps me develop ideas by their own response to a character. Sometimes my companions give me space, time to write, gifts I cannot appreciate enough.

Our best moments are when we inspire each other, bouncing ideas off each other, trying to catch them and transform them into something which grows and grows beyond … Read more
