New story in ‘The Orange Rose’

Read ‘Whatever Happened to Randolph Scott?’

My short story “Whatever Happened to Randolph Scott?” was just published in Issue 4 of The Orange Rose Literary Magazine. I hope you’ll give it a read.

You’d do it for Randolph Scott (video), wouldn’t you?

This is the second story of mine to appear in Orange Rose. The first one, “Shah Mat,” appeared in Issue 2. I’m grateful to editor-in-chief Amber Budd for including my work in both issues.

New writing in ‘Frazzled Lit’

I’m thrilled to have my nonfiction piece “Liars” published in the latest issue of the online literary magazine Frazzled Lit. Some of my educator friends, and at least one high school teacher, might not be so impressed. It lays bare my writer’s origin story in a most transparent way–warts and all, as they say. Nevertheless, I hope you like it, I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me my youthful plagiarism, and I hope it serves as a cautionary tale to other the other high school slackers and cheaters out there, who have the benefit of AI, which I did not, back in my day. And it’s probably a good thing I didn’t.
