Welcome to a blog designed to celebrate the joy of fiction. Here practicing and aspiring novelists and short story writers, as well as admiring readers and thoughtful commentators may, and I hope will, give voice to their ideas and practices, successes and failures, favorite authors and preferred genres.

You might want your own short story or novel excerpt to appear in this space. Or maybe you’ll be inclined to contribute a guest blog. Could be you’ll just want to talk about a book you read and loved.

Whatever you choose to share, send me a query/message via my contact form. (Remember, once a complete work appears on the Internet, many editors consider it published.)

I feel as though I’m embarking on an exciting adventure, but it won’t be as much fun without your company. Won’t you join me in giving voice to all matters fictional?
