Hello everyone:

I hope you have all been well.  I decided it was time to once again visit my website.  And I apologize to all of you for not posting sooner.  As you may or may not know,  I worked as an Intensive Care Nurse for 30 years.   A few years ago I decided to take a break from  nursing.  40 years is a long time in one profession and since I was a prolific reader I said to myself:  why not try and write?

So what am I up to now?   Well I have been busy writing flash fictions.  These are stories that vary in length.  A few hundred words to a few thousand.  I find they offer me a writing challenge.   One of my favorite sites is www.fridayflashfiction.com  This site has published a number of my stories over the last year.  And in December, 2018 I was shortlisted for  “Southbound.”

My flash fictions have also been published on www.101words.com   May 4, 2018: George; May l4, 2018: Scott; June 21, 2018: The Counsellor; August 2, 2018: The Dog Stays. October l5, 2018: Shattered.

I try to cover different genres.  Of course my work may not appeal to every taste but hopefully you can find something that gives you a chuckle.

If you have a minute, please check www.100wordstory.org  The site gives the reader a photo prompt.  And one creates a l00 word story.  My story for the month of January 2019 is titled:  “No More Excuses.”

I have a suggestion.  Why don’t you all try your hand at writing a little drabble.   After all if you don’t at least give it a try, you will never know what gems are brewing in your subconscious.

Well folks that is all for now.  I will try and post more frequently.
