Looking forward to attending the 2020 Association of Writers & Programs Conference in March! I will be supporting American Fiction Volume 17 released by New Rivers Press November 1. Look for me at the New Rivers booth and all over!

American Fiction Volume 17 (New Rivers Press) is now available where you buy/order your books. Honored to have my story The Owls of El Centro in this long-running anthology series. It is a tale of the pain that alcohol dependency and narcissistic tendencies bring to families and particularly to a fragile but hopeful father and son relationship. Set in a harsh and indifferent environment. I hope you check it out!
