I like to write.
I used to get paid for it. But now it's just a hobby. I'm a Seattle-based author who has a background as a journalist but was politely asked to change careers (thanks, newspaper biz!) in 2013. I had a 3-year-old and a five-month-old at the time, yet I found time to go back to school, write a non-fiction book that got published by University of Nebraska Press and do the stay-at-home dad thing. I have since become an Addiction Specialist who has been in the field of Substance Abuse recovery since 2016. I always said that my two passions -- writing and addiction recovery -- would one day intertwine. My most recent piece of fiction, "Until the Caterpillar Flies," is the first intersection of my two roads. I learned from my non-fiction book, "Phog," that getting published takes a lot more time and energy than I expected. So, for now, I've decided to publish my fiction online and hope that somebody enjoys it!
