• And we moved on.

    New York is a city where rain can wash away just about any stain. And to be certain, New York City is full of the stains of life, like sin, and shit, and guilt, and fear as much as it’s full of hope, and possibility, and luxury, and money. Rain in New York echoes down the avenues and soothes away…

  • Two Weeks

    The signature’s been sent. The paperwork is done. We’re moving west.  It was bright in the living room this morning when I woke from dreams of standing on the Marin headlands, gazing over the Golden Gate as the woolen fog coating the Pacific peeled back and revealed the sun, golden and perfuse, as only it can be in California.  I suppose…

  • The one you can’t get out of your head

    I’ve been working on a novel for several years now. My writing process has been filled with fits and spurts of frantic production, and periods of rejecting the project all together (sometimes for more than a year).

  • Accolades!

    I think I may have scared the boys a bit this morning. There might have been an excessive amount of manic whooping and hollering and small children swung up in the air around the living room in my arms before the hour of 7:30 am. Which, the boys would be certain to assure you, is not the usual activity level…

  • Rethinking the rewrite

    I received the nicest rewrite request from an editor of an upcoming anthology yesterday. In thoughtful and complimentary words, he accurately pegged exactly what I’d felt were the highlights and failures of the story I’d submitted. AND he specifically said that he’d like to read any future work I might have. I’m a bit thrilled. It’s not often that editors…
