I spoke in my previous post about the transformative short story I wrote about a woman who had more in common with me as a person than I'd ever known in my own written fiction before. Happily sharing that short story with you in daily excerpts. See below for Part 1. **************************************************************************************************************************************** Aggie and the …
A New Mirror.
"Are your characters white?" I looked up at my good friend who had just posed the question and who had just read one of my stories. "Why do you ask?" I replied. "Well, they seem white. How they speak, how they seem. I was just curious." I explained that I rarely thought about race in …
@frowriter.
The word for this year: intentional. I discussed my social media break here. Well, today, I posted on my frowriter IG page for the first time since 2019. Why? Because I’m a writer. And this year I have a lot of projects in the air. And I want folks to know about those projects and …
Blogtober #21: Sci-Fi Square Peg.

Indulge Me, For a Moment.
Me and him.
Your Elephant, After All.
Dearest reader, last Friday, I published my third book. I seem to favor anthologies and this publication is no different: Your Elephant, After All is my third collection, and this time, it's poetry. I am exceedingly proud of this book, especially because it was born during a difficult time. As you know, life hasn't been the easiest …
