I’m back!

My short story blog, social media, and newsletter updates have been slow lately and I apologize. I would take personal responsibility for this but it’s much more fun to blame my disappearance on the drastic life changes that occurred over the last year.

Last March my family randomly decided to uproot our life and move from Washington State to North Carolina. It was a bittersweet decision because living in the Pacific Northwest is like living in a Bob Ross painting. A piece of my heart will always be in Washington… at the base of the Cascades, between a towering evergreen and the world’s sketchiest espresso hut. 

But the needs of my family necessitated a change so we sold our house, stuffed our kids in a camper, and drove East for three weeks. Then we had to find a new home and new jobs and get the kids set up at a new school. Life isn’t slowing down, but I have picked up writing again! 

I’ve got a new short story coming out soon! It is the latest in my Fish Stories from the Planet Bosun series. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that this series is basically some combination of political commentary and nautical puns so bad they would make your dad cringe. 

If you are new to my work, check out the first two fish stories here:
