IT’S NOT YOU, IT’S ME

I’ve decided to leave WordPress for another format that’s more suitable – a real, ‘big boy’ website.

It’s nearly finished and will go live within the next few days. Once my domain is redirected, this site will become history.

The Virginia Quarterly Review was one of the first literary journals to publish a portfolio of my work and feature me on the cover (Summer/2005). This year, I had the pleasure of illustrating a work of fiction by Karen Palmer — The Reader is the Protagonist (Spring/2016). View my contributor page here.
