Happy Veterans Day to all who served.

And thank you.

Happy Halloween, all!!

Be good.  Don’t drink and drive.  Don’t egg my house.

Care for a little spooky poetry for the Halloween season?

Then check out Local Gems Press’ new Halloween-themed anthology — Ghosts, Echoes & Shadows 2025.  You can order it from Amazon at the link below:

(If you do purchase the book, I hope that you’ll peruse my poem about ghosts around Roanoke, “This Windy Morning.”)



My poem “This Windy Morning” will be included in Local Gems Press’ annual Halloween anthology!

I’m thrilled to share here that a poem of mine will be included in this year’s installment of Local Gems Press’ annual Halloween anthology, Ghosts, Echoes & Shadows 2025.

The poem is “This Windy Morning,” and I am grateful to Maddie McGivney and Bards President James P. Wagner for letting me join the holiday fun.  🙂

You can preorder a copy of the book, if you wish, right here at the Local Gems Press website.
