I’d love to connect with writers/readers. Here's a quick intro so you know what you’ll get.

I’m a nice guy with a penchant for the silly.
I also like deep/inspiring thoughts.
I will self publish my 1st novel this year (Historical Fic.)
I have a Sweet Bride. ♥️
I promote writers and diversity.

I was not perfect before I broke

I might have been more pure - untouched by the careless hands of life

Those hands that use and cast aside before reaching for another bit of naïve detritus

And
I am grateful.

I could never have been complete without being broken.

I am me.

I cannot control who reads my books.
There will be many people who hate them.

That’s okay. The one-stars are my red badge of courage.

But for the right readers
Who find the books at that perfect moment
When they are questioning,

I want my books to be transformative.🙏🏻💜

In my first historical fiction novel, I used some horror writing techniques. 🔪

In my second historical fiction novel, I borrowed tropes from romance. 💘

One might say I have no idea what the heck I’m doing. 🤪

If I open my heart to you
What will you place within?

A treasure? Your story?
Hopes and dreams?

A heart is vast. Perhaps you would curl within my warmth.

Or maybe you are a thief.
The heart is a vault.
Maybe you will only leave fingerprints
As you take my essence.

I couldn’t write my first book again. You’re right. I’m not the same person. 😀

Gonna need a minute. 😰

Someone just referred to their YA book set in the 1980’s as Historical Fiction. 🫣

Finally finished my alphabet painting for my granddaughter for the holidays. Followed tutorials by @Dewintonpaperco.com on YouTube. It was challenging, being miniature and following someone else's work, but I loved it!

It’s historical fiction set in the Copper Age in the Fertile Crescent. 😀

My critique partner is giving me a ton of good notes plus a lot of kudos on my second novel! 💜

I’m so excited to get into my next draft now. 😀

It’s not the two jobs she works
Nor the hairnet she forgets to take off before going to bed

It’s not the three beautiful children at home
Nor the fact that she can’t help them with their math homework

It’s the spirit that swirls inside
And makes her dance at bus stops

I watch my grandchildren
How we teach them
To seek joy

A picnic in the park
A silly face
A favorite toy

Falling down

Then, I have to wonder
When do we teach them
That all that
Was wrong.
