Smoky Blue Literary and Arts Magazine has accepted my poem “The Freelance Geographer” for publication in March 2020

Smoky Blue Literary and Arts Magazine
has accepted my poem “The Freelance Geographer” for publication in
March 2020. This is the fourth time SBLAAM has featured my work and I
deeply appreciate it. 





The poem is written as if in the
voice of my friend since college, Don Bivens, who died in 2018 and is
my small memorial to a good man, a good friend, whose nickname was
indeed “Good Guy.”

Review: Writing Fiction: A Guide to Narrative Craft

Writing Fiction: A Guide to Narrative Craft




Writing Fiction: A Guide to Narrative Craft by Janet Burroway





My rating: 4 of 5 stars





I first read Burroway’s book in its second
edition. Now in its tenth edition, Writing Fiction is even better. I
recommend it for the beginning or more mature writer.

May you all know peace and happiness this night and hereafter

The best response to awe is silence.
