I'm glad you dropped by . . .

For the time being, there's not much to show here. Like many writers, I'm the first to appreciate any curious eye that turns my way—especially if it actually concerns my work—but with so much changing, micro and macro, this site is in need of an overhaul, a face lift, and some attempt to consolidate where's life's been left to stay.

I'm wrapped up in a number of projects over the next few weeks, So check back soon, if you happen to be curious. I can guarantee with near certainty that something interesting will eventually materialize—but hints are only be speculation, at this point early stage of the summer.

In the meantime, my writerly profile is listed on Chill Subs, nearly up to date—and you're welcome to track me down on Bluesky and/or Instagram. After renouncing ties with "socials" sometime before the pandemic, slowly dragging myself back to "real life in the 2020s" seems an uncomfortable but necessary transition. This includes making a genuine attempt to make uneasy peace with social media—but, fair warning, my life has become progressively more slipper-oriented as time's worn on, and a process that doesn't reversing course, as far as I'm aware.

I'm starting to lose patience with any technology that refuses to work how I want it to—instantaneously, without making any loud sounds—and, most importantly, without any need for me to read instructions.

Anyone who's arrived at this address looking to find something to read, I suggest following the link provided here: APROSEXIA LIT. It will take you the the current issues of a journal where I serve as editor-in-cheif. Its dedicated to showcasing exceptional literary talent drawn from the divergent & disabled communities, as well as those who experience challenged & and challenging minds. Our second submission period for the year as just opened, and will run until the end of August. The isssue itself is expected to release this Fall, 2025.

With all that's going on in the world, be sure to take care of yourself and others, now and in the weeks ahead—and please, always remember that you're doing a magnificent job of being yourself.
