Short Stories

I am a storyteller. I write to explore the world in someone else’s skin and to greater understand the struggles of living. These stories invite readers into the lives of people wrestling with the difficulties inherent in composing a life, navigating change, and salvaging relationships.  I hope readers will cheer for them, grieve with them, laugh with them, recognize something of themselves in the struggle, and perhaps for a little while know they are not alone.
