I write fiction, novels and short stories mostly, and the occasional essay and poem. Been known to do a bit of flash fiction and published two flash fiction anthologies from the #FridayFlash community. It was a terrific group of writers. Love 'em all.

Every capitulation to this man emboldens him further. It reminds me of Neville Chamberlain negotiating with a would-be dictator in the 1930s. Please don't make that mistake again.
