I am working on a new novel and, inspired by Alexander McCall Smith, author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, whose Scotland Street series was published in installments in the Edinburgh newspaper, I have decided to publish installments of my novel here on my website. Don't be surprised if occasionally I go back and change something in a chapter already posted. My writing process tends to be two steps forward and one back.
At any rate, the first few installments are up. Click on the link in the menu, "The Pleasure of Your Company".
12/19/08
The second installment is now up at the same link. By the way, I am adding links and photos of things that inspired me as I wrote these chapters. Although the work is entirely fictional, the inspiration points are real.

| Two of my stories are now featured on YouTube.com. One is the short film of "Coming to My Senses", directed by Chad Richards. The other is a reading of "After the Wink" done as practice for Oral Interpretation competitions by Justine Lassar. Both videos blow me away and I'm very excited to be able to share them with you via YouTube |

| A writing friend of mine, David Bulley, challenged me to a duel. We tried to top each other's stories and do it within a very tight time frame. The result was three stories each, all six written in less than a week, and best of all, Tom Dooley, the editor of Eclectica, has published the lot. Check them out here. |
