Twain said it best: "The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter—’tis the difference between the lightning-bug and the lightning."

My self published work is listed here on Lulu; below is my other work to date: A Sum of Flaws: The poignant telling of a platonic relationship that develops between Earl Miller, a 64 year old pinhole photographer with a failing heart, and Lillian Parrish, a 29 year old cellist with a facial deformity. Mama Root: The Old Woman of Loop Road - Stories about, old told by, the incredibly old beldam of Big Cypress, known to locals as "Mama Root". Horror with a touch of Florida history. Forty Rabbit Holes: the Book of Daydreams: Forty vignettes written in the second person that will take you from the world of the mundane to that place you should be.
