My muse in South Texas!

Posted on June 17, 2022Categories Uncategorized

It’s not Key West, but I wanted to send a thank you to the South Padre sunrise. Over the years, my semi-regular pilgrimage to the southern Texas coast has resulted in 10 short stories, 5 published pieces, three novel ideas, and given voice to hundreds of embers my muse uses to fuel the writer in me.
