I'm a fantasy author and blogger. I like to write about the creative process, music, movies, books, and my weekly haiku series, "Haiku Sunday"
Haiku Sunday – Smoke
“Smoke”
Sweet plumes pour upwards,
a pungent aroma to
go with this bourbon.

Friday Write-Day: Feeling the Crunch
WVU’s men’s basketball team lost in the Sweet 16 last night to #1 Gonzaga. Despite being out-sized by Gonzaga’s inside players, WVU forced 13 turnovers and was tied with the Bulldogs 11 times throughout the game. It was neck and neck. Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: Feeling the Crunch”
What Inspires Me to Write?
I saw Nichole McGhie over at The Excited Writer tackle this question last week, so I thought I’d add my piece.

Starshine glittering,
dancing in midnight blue void–

Reblog Wednesday: “A Persian Brew” – Mahdis Marzooghian
We’re going to start reblogging and/or linking one essay, article, or blog we find interesting, emotive, or hilarious each Wednesday, because sharing is caring.
Update, Oct 24, 2019: The original link to this article was broken/not found, so I searched the Google and found a more recent publication of the article.
First up this week is a vivid essay, “A Persian Brew”, by Mahdis Marzooghian about her experiences growing up Persian in the US. Mahdis is a friend and the Editor-in-Chief over at FiveOnTheFifth.com,

The most succinct thing I can say about Mahdis’s writing is that she made me — a white, blonde-haired, American male — feel like I was living her experiences. That is the connective power of brilliant storytelling.
I recommend reading the full issue here, but I just wanted to highlight Mahdis’s piece in particular. (Steve D)
