Greetings. I’m a humorist living in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. This site showcases some of my favorite stories, which often draw from my life experiences – real, exaggerated, and imagined.

For 20 years, I have been writing a monthly column for Letters from CAMP Rehoboth (LGBTQ+ magazine for Delaware and distributed in Washington, DC; Baltimore, MD; Philadelphia, PA). I am a contributing writer for Delaware Beach Life (lifestyle magazine for coastal Delaware), and I recently completed a 3-year gig with Marinalife (travel/lifestyle magazine for the US boating community).

My short stories have appeared in a variety of anthologies, most notably: Saints and Sinners: New Fiction from the Festival (2014, 2016, 2020). National Geographic recently named the Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival one of the 7 best book festivals in the world. Saints and Sinners is one of the festival’s programs, it celebrates the LGBTQ+ literary arts. Its annual short fiction contest draws entries from writers in the US and abroad. Finalist stories each year are published in a new fiction anthology. It’s an inspiring festival, and I’ve had the opportunity to meet a number of my favorite authors, including: Edmund White, Dorothy Allison, Julia Reed, and Rick Bragg.

I’ve also authored two books: The Discreet Charms of a Bourgeoise Beach Town (2012); and Fun with Dick and James (2016). Both highlight the quirkiness of life in Rehoboth Beach, a town founded by Methodists in the 19th century and now home to a vibrant gay and lesbian community, writers community — and a former US President. Both books are for sale on Amazon.com.
