Thank you for your interest in my writing.
In addition to my books, my fiction and poetry have appeared in the Saturday Evening Post, the Sewanee Review, Red River Review, Tiny Seed Journal, and other literary journals. I also invite you to subscribe to my newsletter, Poor James's Almanack, on Substack where I write about the search for an authentic and meaningful life in a digital world.
