Welcome to the site of an Aspiring Author. ...

I am a storyteller. I want to share my experiences and ideas and my imagination with anyone who will listen. My goal is to spread my thoughts to a larger audience, for what is a storyteller without listeners? What is a writer without readers? A barista, maybe? 

My stories have seen many rejections from publishers, but I continue to persevere. Sure, my tree of confidence gets shaken from time-to-time--and there's usually a bad smell at the base,--but I always seem to grow new fruit. One day someone will pluck and pay for one of those delicious morsels.

Further details about my writing journey are posted on the About page, where I've started a biography documenting my writing ambitions, my pursuits and my struggles.

Links to my portfolio stories are hanging on Completed's white wood board, along with a Feedback e-mail button for critiques. A progress report of my writing is available on Upcoming, or view updates to recent submissions on Published.

Over on Writer's Corner are recent thoughts about the writing process in my Writing Ruminations. Or, take a walk with me down Memory Lane by reading my 5-minute ClinTalks, where I discuss my interests outside the field of writing. Finally, there are book reviews and external links that lead to other writing hubs where I have accounts.

The date I last updated those pages is noted below. ClinTalks tends to get an annual addition, while book reviews are posted monthly. Progress reports are weekly, and Writing Ruminations drop whenever the moon turns blue.

I hope you enjoy reading my work as much as I enjoyed writing it.
