I am thrilled to announce “The Problem Is” was published in Prompted – Reedsy’s Fiction Review, January 2023 edition, available in digital and print versions on Amazon!

This story won 1st place and importantly speaks to human weakness and love; a short story that we all can experience. Working for an AIDS Housing Organization in NYC, the people I worked with, the men I met, the trials and hoops that people suffered through – not to mention the outright and rampant discrimination— This time and these memories are shared in this award wining story: The Problem Is. 

This issue, while now greatly improved with education, legislation, and drug therapies, has not lessened the discrimination that is still a part of our world.  I wrote this short story so that we never forget and always keep fighting for what is right.  ALSO important —This story is a shout out “Thank You” to all the care-givers in the world.  Enjoy my story and 9 other writer’s short stories for free.  Click here to get your free copy of Prompted.
