I began writing short fiction 35 years ago and had some of my work accepted for publication by small literary magazines early on. A desire to publish a book on personal finance prompted a switch to writing non-fiction. The lure of electronic publishing and sites like wattpad.com re-kindled my passion for short fiction.

I have published two collections of short fiction: Twenty Miles West of Branch, Texas and other stories (2018) and A Short Stack of Short Fiction, Three Character-Driven Short Stories (2019). Both are available on Amazon.
