My first novelette is published and available to read on my blog (click the "More about Tea & Pelicans" button below) and on Amazon (for people who are magically allergic to free books). More about Tea & Pelicans
My COVID-19 Check In #2
I hope everyone is doing well out there. We've been lucky. Despite my father and I working in dentistry (he's the dentist), nobody in our office has gotten sick. Anton, whose role is Infectious Disease Coordinator at the hospital, is okay. My sister in pediatrics has fared well, too. One of our cousins and her … Continue reading My COVID-19 Check In #2
One More Day
Quick Update: The Tea and Pelicans self-published eBook is postponed at least one more day (dang it!).
Monday, October 5, 2020
On Monday, Tea and Pelicans will be available on my blog (here). I made a new cover, too, which was fun and absolutely not what I should've been doing with my time. This is the eBook version only. After talking to Anton, I've decided the print version will have ink illustrations because why the heck … Continue reading Monday, October 5, 2020
Today at the Office

Hey, Writer, Have You Done This?
One Friday night after final exams in graduate school, I had a plan. I planned to write for several hours before bed (which I rarely did during the week because I have a habit of losing track of time when I write), get some decent sleep, wake up to run 5 miles at first light, … Continue reading Hey, Writer, Have You Done This?
My First Story
The first story that I will be self-publishing is a surreal short story called Tea and Pelicans, which is about a man who meets several reclusive neighbors. Getting slightly off the topic of books and writing for a second, I think we've all had a brutal past 6 months (and past several years) and that … Continue reading My First Story
Writing Contest
This past spring, I was a volunteer judge for the annual short story and poetry competition for the Florida Writers Association (I think volunteers are randomly selected from members; I don't have any English/Journalism degrees and I'm not a club officer or anything; that's the only thing that makes sense). I'm grateful for the new … Continue reading Writing Contest
Along the Trail
Rory Moss reached the high point in the wooded mountain trail, winded from covering 5km of uneven terrain in record time, however he hardly noticed the weight of the pack on his back or burn in his legs as he glared ahead at a group of five hikers, four of whom were armed and wore … Continue reading Along the Trail
