Welcome

I meet the world pen first. I’m a fiction writer in a non-fiction cloak, and an essayist wearing a fiction hat. I have always written in the gully between tragedy and comedy. What’s funny at the funeral, what’s sad at the circus? You have to read if you want to write. My favorite writers are the Bronte sisters and the brothers Grimm, Emily Dickinson,  Anton Chekhov, Stanley Elkin and James Joyce.
