It’s hard to believe but here we are! I’m now 25 years in print thanks to Patrick Swenson and now it’s time for a fourth collection…FOUR TRIPS THROUGH MY IMAGINATION FOREST! I remember thinking when I sold him my first story that one day, he’d have my collections under his Fairwood Press banner. And now there are four. And once more, his brother Paul has come up with the perfect cover. This one is from my story “Making My Entrance Again With My Usual Flair,” my 24 hour story from the Writers of the Future workshop in Seattle 2005. Just as I was hitting my stride. Last year, I hired Sarah Chorn to turn a big bunch of short stories into my fourth collection — and to then introduce it — and she knocked it out of the park in both respects. So thanks Patrick, Paul and Sarah! You all rock!
This collection came together slowly during my hiatus between 2016 and 2024 – a time when I only took on short projects by invitation. As you’ll see in the Afterword of this one, I’ve been integrating other aspects of my life into my work — now I also have music out on the platforms and have started coaching/consulting through Facilior Solutions.
So if you like my work, do me these huge favors: First, go pre-order the book here. And then please help me spread the word.
