The Piker Press publishes my horror tale, “The Devil and Amanda Ogilvie”

What happens when a jaded publishing heiress comes face to face with Satan himself?

You can witness the confrontation in “The Devil and Amanda Ogilvie,” published today on the front page of The Piker Press:

The Piker Press publishes my photo of the Admiral David G. Farragut statue in Washington, D.C.

I’m so happy to see The Piker Press today publish my photo of the Admiral David G. Farragut statue in Washington, D.C.’s Farragut Square.  You can find the picture right here.

Farragut Square is a great place to stop and relax on a sunny day if you’re catching a train out of The District.  It’s a couple of blocks from The White House — and there are plenty of food trucks with interesting fare.  (You see, Virginians?  Long Island is NOT the only place who has those.)  DC residents can be surprisingly friendly too.

Thanks, as always, to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for letting me be a part of the creative community of The Piker Press!



Hungry Cat!!

I’m so happy today to see The Piker Press feature another photo of mine — this time of a hungry cat that I encountered out at the western edge of Roanoke.  (She was a friendly little lady.)

You can find the picture right here.

Thanks, as always, to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for alllowing me to be a part of The Piker Press and its terrific creative community.  🙂



The Piker Press publishes my photo of some stragely darkened hills in Woodbridge, Virginia

The Piker Press today featured what might be my favorite photo of mine — a shot of a mid-afternoon Northen Virginia neighborhood that was suddenly and virtually eclipsed by heavy clouds racing over the area.

It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen, and I happened to be there at just the right time.  You can see the photo right here.
