Ode to Short Pump
I grew up in Tuckahoe Village, a subdivision of starter homes in Henrico County in the far west end of Richmond, Virginia.

Recently, I undertook the task of moving back to my hometown. Had I not made this exhausting yet exhilarating effort, I would have been filled with regret for the rest of my life. Now, every morning, I awaken to a view of one of Richmond’s community gardens.

I recommend “The Sweetest Girls” by Elaine Palencia. Like all the work in Women Speak, this story is not full of stereotypes conjured by a politically opportunistic man. Instead, these are the Appalachian voices of strong, real women who value their heritage.

Hi. I received blue-sky wings on 12/20/23. My fiction has appeared in many literary magazines. I am currently at work on a novel.
Keeping up with social media is a Sisyphean task. Here’s hoping the skies in this site remain in reach and blue.
