Perspective
I recently flew back home to my little swath of the Midwest after visiting family in the Golden State. My flight originated at Los Angeles International Airport, known as LAX.

I’d like to take a moment to announce that the newest novella in my Portals Series has been released. This one is titled Little Sprite and was a fun story to write. I don’t usually do this, but I wanted to explain where one of the ideas of this story came from, since I cannot […]
Family

I don’t go into details about it on public forums, but I share privately about some of the struggles I have with those people. It’s a battle that sometimes is challenging mentally and physically for me to […]
Learning to Dance Again
The other night, the other half and I, along with a good friend of ours, went to our local zoo for a fundraising event called the Wild Lights Festival.
