He highly recommends the location for aspiring writers, as there’s something in the air. He developed a writing routine and enjoyed success in his writing career. A monologue Let Me Share was performed at the Claremorris Fringe Festival, winning best actress and best director awards for the people involved. He’s also had stories published in Flash Fiction World (online and print!) and Brilliant Flash Fiction (ditto). In his career he wrote and edited research reports. Storytelling is much more fun.
A native of Romney, Indiana, he now resides in Bloomington. In addition to Decoration Day, he has also published Lightning Rod, another family saga set in the state.view less
