The electronic arrival of The Blue Gem

Deadlines are meant to be broken. Or at least that's what I told myself when I missed the goal of having The Blue Gem self-published in early March. Being my own editor, I suppose missing a self-imposed deadline happens on occasion. I didn't miss the deadline by too many days, there was no advance of money to get it done by a certain point, and certain edits needed to take place before the novel was ready.

"The Latitude of Life" at Alley Rep

"We are given such a miniscule amount of time on this earth. And to do what? Live? Yes, live life to the fullest, but what does it really amount to? A few plaques on the wall, maybe. Some children to carry on your legacy, if you're lucky. Maybe I don't want that. I want to create my own life and not live by the idea of legacy." The Latitude of Life, a full-length play, will receive a staged reading with Alley Repertory Theater on July 14 at 8pm. It is part of the Plays from t
