A Taekwondo Story

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.

Floss Your Teeth

I had a couple of requests for more One-Minute Stories … so I’m back. Here’s the first in a series based on the Lockdown. Don’t forget to floss.

Fishbowl

Hey everyone. Today’s my birthday!!! I wouldn’t normally broadcast the occasion … but these aren’t normal times, are they? So, for my special day, I’d like to give you another One-Minute Story. This one’s about a bullet … and a Fishbowl.

Shipwreck

With all the craziness in the world, it’s hard to know what to do or even think. But I’m a writer, so I’m compelled to write. Here’s the first of a series of One-Minute Stories. It touches upon the age-old question of which three albums would you choose if you were shipwrecked on a desert island.Â
