Truth: having a single devoted reader of my work who stays in contact with me is, and will always be, more important than a thousand folks who buy my books and disappear into the ether.

Sadly, reading books, novels and poetry in particular, has become a niche activity for a very small fraction of the population. Only a thousand novelists worldwide can make a living with their stories.

But there is something better than money, and that's friendship. If you've read something of mine and would like to keep in touch, this is where you can start.

I look forward to talking to you!
