A standalone story, “Gravity” features Curt, the struggling and wry narrator from my novel The Bridge on Beer River. In earlier drafts of the novel the story was part of Chapter 1, but I decided to begin the novel with Curt’s emerging romance with Chelsea.

Thank you to Janet K., the Editor of Down in the Dirt Magazine!

I always enjoy spending more time with Curt.

Many thanks to the Prose Online editors for publishing my story about rain and desire at a Rolling Stones concert in Philadelphia.

I recalled that fateful weekend last March when I attended the AWP (Association of Writers and Writing Programs) Conference. My recent trip to Philadelphia was much more enjoyable.
