I write short-short stories for this unique literary site. These stories draw on my own experiences and reflections, but who knows where memoir ends and fiction begins?
Current Favorites — Resistance
Given present circumstances, the tales below might remind us that we never stopped resisting. Mas o menos, we've been here before, done that, ready to do it again.

Traveler's Tales
Los Mechanicos Published by Travelers Tales in Cuba, an anthology of true stories, dreams, and impressions
I wrote this story as part of a collection of impressions I gathered during a Cuban – American writers conference held in Havana. It was my second trip to Cuba, the first being a journey with Indecent Exposure, a theater company.
Cuba can be confusing to Americans. The 60-year, U.S.-imposed blockade, el bloqueo as the Cubans call it, has created an illusory curtain of romance, suspicion, and myth about the island, its people, its government and culture. Americans have funny impressions of Che and Fidel, Cuban cigars, rum... and its vintage American cars.
I wanted to massage a modicum of reality into the oft-repeated romantic notions Americans have of Cuba and I chose its resurrected American autos as... yes, my vehicle for doing so.
Read "Periodo Especial," another short story in my collection of Havana Sketches...
