THE RUMRUNNER’S BOY update – Windsor book launch

THE RUMRUNNER’S BOY update is a solid book launch and sale at Storyteller’s Book in Windsor, Ontario, in the heart of the once rough and tumble world of rum running.

Ahh, February in Mexico, from my condo balcony are sunsets every nite, bats, pelicans, and an ever-changing seascape of ships entering the big harbor.

NECESSARY LIES – new non-fiction short story

NECESSARY LIES is my new non-fiction short story I’ve been toying with to add to a memoir collection MADHOUSE IN THE FIREHOUSE.  It’s a sad story about one particular med call I had out of #13 station and my feeling of helplessness when trying to console an elderly woman whose husband had a heart attack.
