As promised, here is the link to Literary Mama – newest home to my odd little piece, “Gut Roiling”.

One of the things people often ask regarding certain stories is how much of my own reality are they based on. This one is no different. When it comes to fiction, I like to take elements of truth and play with them. Twist them into something beautiful, or sad, as the story requires. But fabrication is a core definition of the term ‘fiction’, which means it has been manufactured; a creation of my mind, fashioned from half-truths, and far fetched ideas. You want to know the truths of this piece? I’ll say only this: the ocean is an extraordinary holder of secrets.
