Mahalo to Professor Tyler McMahon and his team for giving my story “When” (about when to say when) a home in Hawai’i Pacific Review.

I attended the 2025 James River Writers Conference.

Along with the keynote address by Angie Kim regarding writing later in life, there were many notable panels exploring the writing life.

Along with many fine writers and artists, I am honored that my story, "To Whom Much Is Given," (www.eclectica.org/v29n2/solomo...) has been nominated by Tom Dooley, editor of Eclectica Magazine (@eclecticamagazine.bsky.social), for the Best of the Net Anthology.

In conjunction with @jamesriverwriters.bsky.social and RVA First Fridays, I will be reading September 5th at Mudhouse Specialty Coffee, 418 W. Broad St,. Richmond, VA 23220.

I am thrilled to launch a Substack. By way of Scott Solomon's Writerly News, I intend to write down writerly things picked up along the way.

Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden

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.

Made it to #AWP24.

I was honored to read from my work at the 2023 North Carolina Writers’ Network Fall Conference.

Highlights included sessions on quotes-to-write-by (@saraharcherwrites.bsky.social), atmosphere (@kellymustian.bsky.social), and the writing life (@tommytomlinson.bsky.social).
