Why subscribe?

I look forward to having you get to know me as, hopefully, I get to know you. On my Substack page, I include stories and poetry NOT published elsewhere. Yes, this is it, and, as you read my work, I hope you won’t hesitate to share your thoughts and comments.

Stay up-to-date

You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Everything I write gets sent directly to your inbox. The pieces are not lengthy and, hopefully, will be a nice addition to your day. I know with the blogs I subscribe to, it’s fun to follow a writer who publishes frequently (at least once a week) and loves to get your input.

Join the community

Be part of a community of like-minded people who share common interests. This is key, as I hope to build a community of followers you recognize over time. In addition, other writers on Substack are available to you through my website. If you want to read their posts, simply click! In time, I’ll recommend certain blogs as I read their work - perhaps you’ll find this of help and join me in reading writers with similar content!
