My novel excerpts, short stories, poems, critical articles, reviews, and translations have appeared in more than 100 publications. My most recent novels are Crowsong for the Stricken, Mrs Saville, and The Artist Spoke. Delta of Cassiopeia: Collected Stories and Sonnets appeared in 2023.

In 2012 I founded Twelve Winters Press, a literary publisher (twelvewinters.com). In 2021, I added Twelve Winters Journal and Twelve Winters Miscellany, online. See my website for links to my books, etc.
