Welcome! Every month, I mail out a 5–10-page newsletter written by yours truly. Who am I? Well, hopefully your new pen pal. I’m a lifelong writer (and recent creative writing graduate) who misses handwritten letters and thoughtful connection. I have a feeling you might miss it too. Inside, you’ll find personal essays, beloved recipes, the occasional airing of grievances, and a recurring wisdom-filled feature called “Notes from the Colonel”. My writing is reflective, possibly eccentric at times, but always genuine. I don’t use AI to write. And I don’t promote on social media. If this all sounds like something you’d enjoy, I’d love to have you as a subscriber. It would be a privilege to write to you.
