I’m honored to be included in this special music issue of The Woolf with so many amazing writers. This story describes my lifelong journey to learn how to play guitar and the music I so love.

Honored to see my poem “Rumor of Love” up on The Blood Pudding magazine website.
I especially love the the artwork the editors selected to accompany the poem: “Two Hearts” by Amy Beager.
Also be sure to check out the other fine authors.

If you are attending the AWP Conference in Kansas City 2/7-2/9, 2024, please stop by the Unsolicited Press table or catch meet at an event to say hi.
I love connecting with friends and meeting fellow literary nerds!
Some of the AWP events are virtual this year, so you can attend from home and pay a discounted fee. The conference has much to offer bookish types.
