A website dedicated to gratuitous self-promotion of an author with mediocre talent.
Had a really great day yesterday. Found out one of my short stories is in the top ten (number 3, ahem) for a highly-competitive contest which shall, for the moment, remain nameless.

Well, here's something cool: Wit and Wimsy nominated my site for a Sunshine Blogger Award! That's the second award I've had the privilege to be nominated for since I started this little site just over month or so ago. It's especially gratifying to be a recipient when you read what this award is all about: “The Sunshine Blogger …

The highest compliments one can get are those from the people who do the same type of work as you. It is special because they understand the commitment, hard work, and dedication it takes to produce something worthwhile. That they take the time to give recognition is extremely flattering. That's why I was honored to …
I had a reading assignment for my beta-reading group this morning. An absolutely wonderful story about the family of a man suffering from mental decline. It needed some technical work, but the story itself was just fantastic. I expressed as such, and hope the author sees the story in print somewhere soon. It was that …
Well, I’ve done it again. After countless rewrites and having received a blessing from my professional, often angry beta reading group, I have once again released a little white dove of fiction into the skies of a cruel, cruel world.
