Welcome to my website.
In a previous update, I shared I’d gotten derailed from writing and submitting by a career in commercial real estate, one that wasn’t planned and just happened.
Years later I enrolled in The University of Iowa’s online class, How Writers Write Fiction, offered through their International Writing Program. I was curious if I could still tap into the imaginative part of my brain to write. In short, I could and did. I found the process and the creativity deeply satisfying.
I feel fortunate that many of my short stories and essays were published in some outstanding literary journals, newspapers, and magazines, both online and in print, as well as a number of anthologies. I’ve linked some of these in my Portfolio.
I’ve always considered myself a short story writer, but in a subsequent Iowa class, I worked on a story that kept on growing. It is still very much a work in progress.
