Welcome.

A writer makes sense of his or her world through story-telling. The process can be the result of a slow, contemplative self examination or come screaming straight out of last night’s fever dream. It’s a devilish creature made through a marriage of fact and fiction, a living, breathing, thing that can change its appearance depending on the angle from which you view it, whether its two meters to the left, 6 months into the future, or 600 years into the past. Writers lay their lifeblood out on the page and leave a trail for the reader to follow. A good story may lay tantalizingly naked in front of you one minute, then slither away the next, or resonate with you months later. If everything aligns correctly, the reader and the writer will meet at the end, both a little more enriched. Hope to see you there.
