First there was “Breakfast” … now there’s “Lunch.”
Yes, I’m excited to let you know I checked this project off my list while staying home during COVID-19.
“Lunch with the Alien and Other Short, Short Stories” is Coming Soon (paperback and ePub versions).
Stay tuned for further details.
Honored & Humbled. My short, short animated film “He Runs” is an official selection at the Halifax Black Film Festival … thank you to the organizers. And huge thanks to everyone who played a part in the movie (including Andrew Dixon for the inspired soundtrack).
Check out the festival online (Feb 23 – 28).
Thanks to the 2020 Soul-Making Keats Literary Competition for the Honorable Mention in the Humor Category for my short, short story “Shut Up and Write.”
I’m currently searching for a nice home for this little story. Hopefully it’ll land a spot soon. We don’t need a twelve-room mansion or anything like that – a sweet little two-bed, two-bath apartment with a small balcony overlooking a park or a river (or the Mediterranean) would be just fine.
More short, short story news coming soon!!!

On the day before Tiny Telephone San Francisco closed forever, I scrambled into the studio to record six songs with guitarist extraordinaire Jules Leyhe. When looking back, I’ll always be thankful that I got one last recording day in this amazing space. And, with the session taking place during the days of COVID, I’m glad to say we all wore masks.

In March, I had to cancel a house concert due to the COVID-19 shutdown. Not knowing when I’d play another show, I decided to record a live album. So, here it is. Just me and my guitar. Playing the songs as you would have heard them at the concert that never was.

I was involved in Taekwondo for more than 25 years as an instructor, coach, and practitioner. And I met a lot of great people along the way.
Now, I’m happy to say I have one Taekwondo short story to my name. “The Holding Area” is coming out soon in the most recent edition of Aethlon: The Journal of Sport Literature.
The story’s written from the point of view of a junior competitor seeking a shot at a national title after battling her way back from a disappointing loss the previous year.
Keup!
I’m happy to report that I just wrapped up recording a new record. It look a fair amount of time (okay, decades), but I think this is the album I’ve always meant to record — just me and my guitar.
Huge thanks to Danielle Goldsmith for engineering and mixing the record in Studio A at Tiny Telephone in San Francisco.
