Here are a few of the awards my writing has won, as well as some of the various literary magazines, anthologies, chapbooks, and web sites where I've been published. As I have more time, I will continue to add on other previously published links, as well as any new ones. Feel free to browse and read the selections. I hope this encourages you to check out more of my writing in the future as I travel along this path of becoming a better writer. Thanks!
