Tell me, what do the following have in common?

1. I once bathed a full grown American Greywolf while naked.
2. I wrote a sports essay on the opportunity cost of the Brooklyn Dodgers, proving they'd be worth more than the L.A. Dodgers.
3. I traced the history of Science Fiction into antiquity.
4. I wrote short stories on a lighthouse for spaceships, a supply chain engineer that wins a war, and a mother who assaults baristas.
5. I investigated the problems of gun violence and prison poker games.

Answer? I write about deep longing in all of my stories and essays. Some of these were published traditionally, others independently. All of them appeared in the first two years of my Substack - the public-facing version of my newsletter.
