Poetry Publication
My poem “Hateful Algorithms” was recently published in Masticadores Canada, an online literary E-zine and part of a global network of "Masticadores" magazines founded by Juan Re Crivello. The platform focuses on human-created literary works. It's a great privilege to get some of my poetry out to a wider audience.
Bookstore Options
In addition to this, my two volumes of poetry are now available at Poor Richard's, a "Colorado Springs favorite since 1975, where the pizza is warm, the books are wise, and the toy store occasionally giggles". Find my collections The Reluctant Poet and A Prayer from the Driven: Poems by a Christian in the Local Poets section.
PPLD Mountain of Authors
I am also proud to share that I have been selected as local showcase authors for the 20th annual Pikes Peak Library District Mountain of Authors Event! It’s Saturday, May 16, from 12-5 pm in the Venue at Library 21c in Colorado Springs.
Mountain of Authors (MOA) is an annual community program that provides an opportunity for the public and local authors to network, listen to notable authors, and learn more about the craft of writing and trends in publishing. It’s free and open to the public.

I will be selling many of my books and signing during the Local Authors Showcase times including The Reluctant Poet, A Prayer From the Driven: Poems by a Christian, and other poetry, fiction, and nonfiction.
