I have returned to my guitar and life as a songwriter. Happy to report that music and writing songs are now occupying a daily portion of my creative life. I am currently working on a collection called First Sentence Stories, a flash fiction series inspired by the work of Russell Edson. And I am revising my manuscript Snapshot: 1967-1968. Set during a time of upheaval and turmoil in America, when both Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy were assassinated, Snapshot recounts a story of personal and cultural transition from the constricted 50s to the “turn on, tune in, drop out” culture of the 60s.
Tallulah, an award-winning short film I wrote and directed, is now available on YouTube. Below, you can get the link for Tallulah, and read about my upcoming and past events.
