Literary Magazine: IVO Review, Issue 2–Lost

I’m happy to be a part of IVO Review’s second issue. My story “Snow White and the Seven Dogs” is on page 43.

Margie avoided anything meaningful. However, she was happy to talk about her dogs and how
each one brought a special gift. She didn’t want to discuss her marriage, which ended in divorce not long
after her son died. She kept her son's urn on her dresser in the bedroom, surrounded by condolence cards.
After a few months of no progress, I told Margie that her issues needed attention, not her seven yapping
dogs, whom she kept picking up, putting down, petting, and baby-talking to.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.
