Under A Puerto Rican Sky


My new short story Under a Puerto Rican Sky is featured in the March issue of the online literary magazine natcreole.com and also showcases some of my photography. Nat Creole was launched a few months ago, and when I read it, I was really impressed with the content, as well as the visual design. Brook Stephenson, the literary editor, asked me to contribute a story when I met him at a birthday party in a September.

I was going to submit an older story, but my friend Michael suggested I write something new in which I'd be able to use my photographs. I decided to look at some photographs I'd taken in Puerto Rico two years ago and let them inspire the story. It was a different approach, but I think it turned out really well. Check it out for yourself.
