Check out my new author site! I am slowly adding all of my publishing credits there. You will be able to read any of my work that appears online and keep up with where the rest of it is. Enjoy!

After writing and posting 1,100 dream haiku (!) over almost 12 years, I’m taking a break. One day, I might get back to it. Thank you to everyone who has been reading them! I really appreciate it. It’s been a fun project! So many dreams would have otherwise been forgotten.

Right now, I’m focusing on getting Cherry Blossom out there, and writing and publishing erotic haiku. Speaking of, here’s a recent one that appeared in Tsuri-Doro’s issue #24. (If you’ve been wondering what the haiku in Cherry Blossom are like, this is a good example.)
