ScreenCraft Cinematic Book Writing Competition Finalists

Thank you again to David Martin and the editors of Fine Lines for acknowledging my work. My new essay Of Wings and Dust is running in the current Winter 2020 issue. I wrote this essay at the close of one of the most challenging years I have endured. It was a year riddled with loss and brokenness. This essay was—and remains—a cathartic part of the healing process. I hope you enjoy it. More information is at finelines.org.

Drifting

You can still read Drifting in the Spring 2020 issue of Fine Lines literary journal—a piece I created a few years back and revisited and revised. This essay is an amalgamation of nature writing and personal reflection during a challenging time.

Fine Lines Publication

Fine Lines literary journal is running my recent essay A Time in the Sun in the Winter 2019 issue. This was a fun and challenging piece to write. Thank you to the editors of this excellent journal for making this happen. This essay was pieced together from the notes and memories of my sojourn to Ernest Hemingway’s homes, haunts, and graveside. I hope you like reading it as much as I loved writing it. More information at finelines.org.
