Top Stories

Welcome!  If you're new around here or just looking for a place to start, you’re in the right spot.

Every writer has those few pieces that stick with them long after the final sentence is written.  On this page, I’ve gathered the stories that readers have loved the most and the ones closest to my own heart.  Whether you have five minutes or an hour, I hope you find a world here that you want to get lost in.

🏆 The Top Fan Favorites

In the Closet with Superman, Oprah, and God

The number one most-read story on this blog.  This piece is a true memoir.   A woman who became like a second mother to me told me this story and asked me to share it.  Everyone should have a mom like Marina!

 

Fat, Forty, and Frumpy
Holding the number two spot.  This ChickLit story is based on a woman who briefly passed through my life and left an indelible mark.  She made me laugh until I cried.  She was fun, fascinating, and was one of the most beautiful women I’d ever seen.  I hope you enjoy her story as much as I enjoyed meeting her.

 

The Summer of 1950
Coming in third, and my personal favorite.  I wrote this about a relative who passed away long before I was born, but family legend says we could have been twins.  I guess that's why her story has always moved me.  (Bonus: You can also read my Behind the Fiction peek into this story.)

 

Clipped Wings
The fourth most-read story.  This gripping piece is based entirely on a dramatic real-life event.  No matter how awful Dylan was, please know that most flight crews are hard-working people who care about their passengers and who earn their wings every day.  And as they say in the airlines—Fly Safe!
