New Story at Uprising Review!

The Uprising Review is a literary magazine that celebrates freedom of speech and a diversity of ideas. Writers should be able create without the fear of being shot down because of their unique ideas or perspective. When a publisher tries to impose their own bias, the creative process is tarnished. Ideas were meant to be shared and everyone deserves a voice. That is what inspired us to create the Uprising Review.

My piece explores the inner (or perhaps outer) demons of a Catholic priest haunted by regret. Check out the story for FREE at the link below, and watch this space for more new story announcements, because there is definitely more to come! 🙂
