Fiction and Creative Nonfiction

My stories and poems are works of imagination. Any resemblance to real people or events in fiction is coincidental. My creative nonfiction reflects my own memories and perspective, and some names or details may be changed to protect privacy.

Brief quotations from reviewed works are used for the purposes of criticism and commentary. All rights in those works, including titles, cover images, and excerpts, belong to their respective authors and publishers.
 

Some books I review are provided free by publishers, authors, or literary magazines. This does not influence my opinions, and I will note it where relevant.
