A note from Ev:

These days my primary writing focus and great joys are fiction and poetry. In the (increasingly distant, LOL) past, I wrote a lot of non-fiction, and I was a columnist with The Terrace Standard for almost twenty years (November 2009 to 2018-ish). I can’t provide an exhaustive list of my published work, but here are titles and links to some of it.

Thank you for reading!
