A true short story I wrote, titled “For Always Roaming With A Hungry Heart,” was selected to be turned into a film for the 2019 FilmCon Challenge in San Diego, CA! It will be produced and directed by a mostly – if not all – female team, which is awesome.

The story deals with the first grown-up LP I bought as a kid, Bruce Springsteen’s “Hungry Heart,” and how it changed me for life. It’s a mostly-funny look at the transformation of a little scared girl into a nomadic young woman. I can’t wait to see what the team does with it. It should be out in the fall; look for the update here.

In the meantime, if you want to see me perform the story, look for it here on my website.

OK, so a couple years have passed, but in those couple years, a new volume of Incoming has taken shape and been released! I am extremely proud to have been a co-editor on this gorgeous anthology along with Justin Hudnall, Francisco Martinezcuello, and Tenley Barna. Volume 2 of Incoming, titled Sex, Drugs, and Copenhagen, (and that refers to the chewing tobacco), deals with the coping mechanisms employed by service members during the hurry up and wait, during the suck, during the what-could-go-wrong times of deployment. These are all TRUE stories, told straight from the mouths/pens/keyboards of those who lived it. I can’t wait for you to pick it up. And you can pick it up at local booksellers or your local Amazon link!
