THE BOOK OF WINE AND SORROW (2025)
Opinions expressed are my own.
I had a book signing and reading at Philcon today! I read an excerpt from my upcoming short story “Kindness is the Rarest Thing,” which will be published next month in Interesting Times: A Hopepunk Anthology by End of the World Publishing.

Scenes from last night’s poetry reading in Atlantic City. Read two of my poems, “Temptation at 3 a.m” and an excerpt from “America You Are Broken.” Heard outstanding poets and saw some enchanting art.

You can grind away and fail, but as long as you’ve written something you succeeded. The most important thing is you write for the love of it, that pushing yourself to new plateaus of creativity is part of the journey. Failure is a way you level up. It’s a pit stop, not a destination. #5amwritersclub
