This site is still somewhat under construction but there’s lots of content ready to browse. Pardon any loose ends meanwhile.

What’s on This Site:

Published Work serves up examples of my professional news and feature writing, where you can link to external sites or download reprints of articles written for a variety of publications. It’s for anyone who wants to see writing samples or for general reading, should the content interest you. Certain golden-oldie pieces are included for their continuing relevancy or reference value.

A Bloggish Collection of Stories offers magazine-y type stories or features I write occasionally for this site when I feel a tug to share something of an interesting nature. I do try to set a reasonably high standard for “interesting,” and I put loving work into these pieces.

The Blurb-osphere is where I shine a light on others for their their interesting work, moments of brilliance or accomplishments that I’ve found interesting, and so might you.

The Real Dogs of White Bear Lake is the name of a column I currently write for The White Bear Press/PressPubs in Minnesota about random dogs I run into out on walks with their owners, or sometimes elsewhere. It’s built around the idea that every dog has a story. Celebrate with me the capacity of ordinary dogs to make everyday human lives more extraordinary, and vice versa. And enjoy a laugh or two.
