An overlooked art form worth looking at
These days, time seems shorter than ever, crammed full with work, errands, chores, activities, workouts, and so much more. Our attention spans are short, conditioned by tweets, snippets, Facebook posts, text messages, and the like. It seems logical, then, that readers would embrace short stories as a sound solution to the time issue. But short […]
Dishing out the ear candy
Once upon a time, there was a carpet merchant. He had his small business, a beautiful daughter, and a bad habit of borrowing money from a loan shark to keep his business running. When the sum owed was quite large, the loan shark came to collect. The lender was a crafty fellow. He’d had his […]

Story…what’s it all about?
Let’s be clear we’re talking about Story, here, with a capital S. Story is more than just a construct of events; it’s a concept that powers our lives. Most of us go through our days unaware of the huge role and impact that it packs, but our brains are programmed to think in terms of […]
My Adventure…and you’re invited
“Life is either a great adventure or nothing.” These words were expressed by a woman whose trials and challenges went far beyond anything I will ever experience, yet the truth of them touches my life just as vigorously as it touched hers.
