about me

I'm from the Central Coast of California, and I've been writing for a long time, mostly for my own pleasure, but now pursuing professionally. I've had a couple of things published and write a column on local politics for local paper. Currently I'm working on a series for middle graders about a family that sails around the world, based on my own family's travels. I've finished the first book and hope to get it up on site soon. I'm also working a literary novel. Currently I'm looking for feedback on some short stories. I've uploaded two so far and will get a couple more up soon.

A collection of short stories exploring the tenuous beauty and fragility of life, when attemping to make meaningful connections in a fragmented world.


"Sheri Unleashed" is the story of a young woman who clings to her brash husband as if he is the only thing that keeps her grounded, and what happens when he lets go. "Tamara in her Garden" is about a woman who finds solace and redemption in her garden to atone for a murder she may or may not have committed as a child. "Petite Marmite" is a lighter look at what can happen when opposites meet and marry. "Looking for Bobby" explores shifting identities and realities when bad-boy Bobby breaks into the house of a stay-at-home mom.

Nicely done what I've read so far. I really like the opening dialogue and the image about being curled up inside his smell was lovely and evocative. I've put on WL to read more. DJay - Fine and Shimmering view book

I really like the premise and think there's much to admire here. A couple of images in the first paragraph put me off though, so you might want to take a second look at them. The part about the smell or lavendar mingling with the wet leaving a stain on her nostrils: stain is a visual image, so I ... view book
