Substack: I write the rain

I have a new piece for you today on Substack: I write the rain. Here is a sneak peek of it:

When I think the front has brushed by, they come – rain drops the size of marbles, determined to splash to the ground as fast and dramatically as they can, turning the surge into a boiling pot, raging unapologetically before me. Sea gulls flying just above the waves, smooth bellies brushing their sharp edges.

Welcome to my Substack! Don’t worry, I will still blog here too.
