Are they serious?
The New Yorker never went out of style for me.
bookmark this and return often.
Because even if it sounds snobby or pretentious, it’s not.
fiction, poetry and more without the porn
A new book project underway… or, all in the name of research.
As a writer, stories find me everywhere. But sometimes, you have to go to the scene and play truffle hunting pig. You have to nudge and dig and listen real hard and maybe use your nose.
