Check out my latest book published by SWR Productions.

Roxy, Reincarnated is a collection of short stories woven together by lessons, cosmic and earthly, about relationships and the possibilities of life when we listen to ourselves. A father deals with the fallout from his daughter's party, a high school football star re-thinks his goals, a young woman realizes her place in the world while gliding down the face of a perfect Northern California wave, an octogenarian photographer discovers a secret about the past through his camera, and an art student is transfixed by watery, mysterious images depicting the natural world produced by a rising star in the painting world. The final story, "Roundabout," begins with a teenage girl introducing her boyfriend to her father, and ends with a cosmic surprise.

Seemed like it rained forever
Not just rain but
a tiredness of things
dropping all around
splashingly big drops
finding their pearl shapes
spread across the clay
absorbless

"Nothing grows in this clay," said Odysseous.
"Clover, mustard, and these great wide oaks."
It was Telemechus talking.  He and his father

Walking in the back yard
Things were wet and puddily
A break in the storm

Odysseous wondered
and while looking at the sky                                  

the hole in the clouds

Then back down
his gaze toward his son's
sinewy arms

his  youth, enameled
yearning
wondering

"It may make the sandbars good," he finally said.

Some sixty miles away
a wave fell upon itself
like glass cracking
