I’ve got some more publications to report since my last update. It’s been my most productive year of publications ever! I had two stories published over the summer at Sledgehammer Lit, a fun new literary journal. My quirky apocalyptic story, “Where To Find Your End of the World Lover” was published on May 17 and →

Hi! I’m proud to present a recent episode of The Night’s End Podcast featuring my Horror story, “Young Man, Are You Lost?” I am so impressed with the production, voice work, and sound effects used by the Night’s End team to bring my story to life. Check it out below, but be warned, it is →

Hello! I have had a busy and productive start to 2021. Let’s get to the highlights: On January 1st, my micro-fiction story, “Every Awful Sound” was published as part of Your Dream Journal’s Monster Micro issue: https://ilovedreamjournal.wordpress.com/2021/01/01/every-awful-sound/ Later in January, I wrote a non-fiction (!) love letter to one of my favorite films of all →

*dusts off blog* *clears throat* Despite a difficult year for all of us, I’ve managed to publish some fiction, which brings me joy. I had a goal this year to publish at least four pieces of fiction, including an anthology, and I met it! *insert more joy* First up, my story “Stay In Your Homes” →

It’s my favorite time of the year, Listmas! (Listunakkah doesn’t work, does it?) 2019 was another incredible year for music. In this age of streaming services, it feels like there’s a new major release almost every Friday and I try to keep up with whats going on, downloading and listening to a LOT of new →

2019 was a great year for publishing for me. Four published pieces may not be extraordinary for more established writers, but for me, it not only marks the most stories I’ve had published in a single year, but also more than I’ve had in the last few years. Plus, I’m extremely proud of the pieces →

Let’s timewarp for a moment. It was early 2013. News of a new record by The National was popping up on blogs. I recall telling my wife, “I love the National. They are so good. But does the world really need another National record?” Obviously, I was wrong, but I was also nervous. The National →

Sunkissed indie poppers, the sisters HAIM, are in full swing again in late 2019. They’ve been releasing new singles at a steady clip, starting with my Song of the Summer, the aptly titled “Summer Girl,” with an absolute badass bass line and horn section with pre-requisite video of the sisters walking around LA, removing articles →

I realize I’ve let this blog go quiet the last few weeks and I’m so sorry about that! I know there’s not a lot of readers here, but I do enjoy waxing poetic about music more than, well, pretty much anything. So here’s where I’m at musically the last few weeks: One of my most →

I spent my college years unpublished. I wrote a lot of stories and even spent a year writing a novel, most of which never saw the light of day. This isn’t necessarily notable, a lot of young people toil away unpublished for years, but I thought I would be different. I attended Clarion at the →
