I’m honored to share here that three poems of mine have been selected for publication by Lothlorien Poetry Journal: “school shooter,” “The Windy Morning” and “The Rough, Violet Stone.”
Thanks once again to Editor Strider Marcus Jones for allowing me to see my work showcased by this excellent literary magazine!

This was taken at North Carolina’s Outer Banks in 1994. Pictured at right is the indomitable, inimitable, irreplaceable Dave Kline, of Mary Washington College fame. (Yes, his fashion sense was legendary.)
Who is the goofy guy at left? I have no idea.
Anyway, what a trip that was. I’m sure I’m not the only one of my dormmates who remembers it fondly.

If you have any interest at all in the creative mind, then you must check out Wednesday Lee Friday’s fascinating new podcast, Mentally Oddcast. The show launched its inaugural episode tonight with guest Ryan N. Wilcox, a media expert with the University of Michigan. You can find it right here.
The show is great stuff. Wednesday’s goal for her program will be to examine how creative people of all kinds can be influenced by mental illness, addiction, neurodivergence or trauma. Mentally Oddcast is a project of her online horror magazine, Sometimes Hilarious Horror, which you can find right here at Ko-Fi.
Episode one sets the tone and the goals for the podcast series, with Wednesday and her guest discussing topics as diverse as tolerance, toxic fandom, gatekeeping and binge-watching shows. This looks to become an engaging and truly insightful ongoing series; I cheerfully recommend it. 🙂

I am honored to share here today that The Piker Press published my apocalyptic sci-fi horror story, “At the End of the World, My Daughter Wept Metal.” It is even featured on the “front page.”
The story follows the tragedy of Jacob Farmer, a bereaved husband struggling to raise an adolescent daughter in the wake of her mother’s death. He is also a brilliant inventor, a role in which he takes pride — until his breakthrough medical technology destroys the human race.
You can find the story right here.
Thanks, as always, to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for allowing me to share within the wonderful creative community of The Piker Press.
Enjoy! And please be careful with nanotechnology.
