New short story, "Weather Reports", can be read online @saltpublishing.com in their House magazine.

My story riffs off Jacques Demy's 1964 film, "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg", but you don't need to know the film to appreciate the story. Enjoy!

I loved Corrin-Tachibana’s use of Japanese forms such as the haibun and zuihitsu. This is a searingly honest, atmospheric, and original collection that I’ll be returning to again and again.

We often forget that authors are people too. They're driven by a need for readers, the search for some kind of recognition and the desire 'to make it'. Scammers know it though. And they hope they will get an author at a low moment that will sway them towards the scam. Keep that in mind.
