DIXIANA Events Begin

It’s a long year ahead of Mind Harvest Press book releases and roll-outs, but for local readers here in Columbia, SC, the first Dixiana signing and discussion comes this week.

GHOST OF A HOME

Here’s an essay I wrote following the death of my mom back in 2015. I sent it around to a couple of competitions, but it didn’t seem to tickle any fancies.
