Writer. Dreamer. Vintage in a modern world.

I write what won’t leave me alone -- stories that remember what you’ve almost forgotten.
This morning's anxiety soothed with a single fun size Snickers. I'll have to remember that trick.

If you haven't smelled this before, I don't know if you know just how good this smells.

It takes a wall of glass in cramped spaces to discover
the depth of field within a strong composition.
Still a dream within a dream, exposing yourself and
your subject to the moments that are tricky in low light,
tricky to handhold. #poetry

Finally, it's the temperature outside where I can enjoy my hot coffee the most.

And it's a nice kick to get some afternoon writing out of the way.

Love getting a sweet new product testing gig. But I can't talk about it. I've already said too much. 😉

I once wrote a love letter to a summer that never quite happened: a city full of ghosts, what-ifs, and the heat that changes you.

If It Was New York, Summer 2009 is that book.

Some names are given. Others are earned—usually after stealing a tuna can in broad daylight.

I wrote this poetry book like it was a memory I couldn’t live without.

If It Was New York, Summer 2009 is for the ones who still romanticize neon, nostalgia, and the city that almost became yours.

Made the switch from a cylinder lamp to this one, and it really sets the mood for writing time.

Not all love spells require candles.

Sometimes, it's nothing more than writing their name at the top of the page.

“Love Spells” is a poetry ritual for the ones you can't shake from your imagination.
