An excerpt from my short story submission to Tuscany Press is featured on its blog. “Nova,” written last winter, was inspired by the death of my former pastor. (July 6, 2015)

“He closed his eyes, hoping to relax in the arms of his Father, but no amount of external peace could quiet his soul. It irritated, like a pebble in his shoe. With every step forward it rankled and distracted until he gave up and succumbed to sleep.”

[Update: Tuscany Press is no longer in operation.]
