Issue 09 of STAND Magazine is officially out in the world, and it includes my essay “Learning To Forgive the Man I Don’t Want To Be.”
This is the most vulnerable piece of fatherhood writing I’ve done. I dug deep for this one and hope it helps others.
As ever, I deeply appreciate the continuous support of Editor-in-Chief Dwayne D. Hayes and everyone at STAND.

I’ll have a table at the inaugural Local Author Book Fair at the Mountain View Public Library on Saturday, August 25, from 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.!
The library is located at 585 Franklin Street, Mountain View, CA 94041. The event is free, so if you’re in the area, come meet your local authors!
See me at Table 10 to learn about The Honeydrop Tree and my fatherhood writing.
Have you looked into that face? That face looks into you. She knows her torch, a burden, but keeps her vigil, loyal despite your habits, your forgetting. Your turn will come. Her prayer will be your lungs.
