Summer Greetings!

My apologies for a late update to the site and I’ll confess right now that the odds are there won’t be an August update. Things have gotten decidedly hectic around the household, although it’s nothing unmanageable. We’re just working through some heavier than usual professional obligations and some family events that we’re trying to navigate.

With that in mind, I don’t have a new short story, but I do have an essay that might warm a spot in the heart of anyone out there who may be feeling a bit stressed. Taking the Plunge won’t be much of a surprise to regular visitors, although it might give you some proverbial “food for thought” and bring a chuckle.

Have a good, or even great, rest of the summer if I’m not back to you before Labor Day and as always, remember that autographed books make terrific gifts!
