THE MASTER AND THE MAGICIAN excerpt and more work in the online literary magazine THE CREATIVE PROCESS

Very proud that I was included in the inaugural issue (“SYNESTHESIA”) for the online literary magazine The Creative Process. I’ve only just begun to go through it as there are writers/artists from 30 countries, but I can tell I’m in good company. I have a play excerpt, a photograph and a poem in the issue. Much thanks to the multi-talented Helene Cardona who served as guest editor.

I’ve attached the photo which I took at the Salton Sea at dawn some 16 years ago. (FYI: the play set is long gone as a community center is now at the site of the old abandoned north marina.)

If you enjoyed reading the excerpt and want to see the whole play, I did a zoom reading with a wonderful cast during the pandemic. Don’t be put off that it’s Zoom. It was my 4th Zoom reading that I did and I really figured out how to make to best use the medium of Zoom. https://vimeo.com/584123005 The password is hotchpot.
