Clusters of magenta trumpet flowers glow in the morning sun along a barely visible fence dense with dark green vines and brambles.

And a follow-up, because it’s been a crushingly stressful week and thinking back to these moments from the week before feels great

It’s been a very good year for me as a writer, with 4 stories & 2 book reviews published thus far, and 5 stories (and a novel!) on submission. I never know when a year like this will come along, between a full-time job and parenting, but when it happens I just try to enjoy the ride.

Thanks. Just a fracture, not too bad.

I’ve been back at it for 4 years, turned 50 last year. I get some looks when I’m out there for sure. πŸ™‚
