The Importance of Not Being Earnest

A new published story. Yes, it's been a while.

"The Barn Door" / "Sea" - Third Wednesday Magazine

Vestal Review got rated 5/5 stars in The Review Review and my story was called "simple, lovely and evocative." 😀

A little poem for my little girl on her little birthday...

Autumn Jane

My favorite name

My life would never be the same

I picked you up

I took you home

I can’t believe how much you’ve grown

So soft and small

Just like a doll

And now a beauty, fast and tall!

Your big brown eyes

Your smile so true

My heart explodes when I look at you

The way you twirl

And dance and spin

Makes every day a triple win

I love you always

Through and through

Each time I wake it feels brand new

Autumn Jane

You’re my best girl
And I just had to tell the world
