My fictional story "Damu's Final Lament" was just published in Enheduanna 7 (2024): 93-105. It is based on several versions of a Mesopotamian myth. A cult of Damu existed since the UR III period (22nd-21st century BCE).

I wrote "From Asgard to Fruitvale." This is a short fantasy story (Norse myth) based in Fruitvale, Oakland in the last century (pp. 15-26).
I am happy that my dark poem "At Last" was published in the Raven Review VI: I (Winter 2025), p. 38. The volume is available online for free:

The "Writers of the Future" contest is run quarterly. It is open to authors who have no, or few, professional publications. Since there is no entry fee, the competition is fierce. I am happy to have a Silver Honorable Mention for a short story inspired by mythology.
For those Scouts who reached the rank of Eagle Scout, the National Eagle Scout Association offers life memberships that connect members and gives something back. Scouting has reformed to welcome many that were previously excluded.
