Hello

Welcome Dear Reader, You are here, I hope, because you love stories. I tell them. In poetry, art, & fiction. I promise to tell these stories honestly, but I'll let you know a secret. To tell you a really good story, maybe something even great, I'll have to lie. Maybe just a little. Maybe a whole lot. But I'll lie honestly. I'll try to reply if you drop me a line.
Enjoy, EH, August 2012
