A weathered front porch at golden hour
Welcome to the porch

Pull up a chair.
There's a story on the porch.

The Front Porch is a quiet anthology of essays, fiction, and letters — written slowly, the way the light moves across the boards at dusk. Settle in, read a while, and let a new piece arrive in your inbox whenever one is set out.

Subscriptions

Okay, ya'll, so for the people that did subscribe and pay the monthly price. Please double-check your bank statement that you were indeed charged. I was having some backend issues that are currently being fixed. Once they are completed everyone that wanted a paid subscription will be able to fully subscribe with no issues and you will be truly charged for the monthly. Due to the inconvenience, I will be giving out a coupon code for one free month. So, if you did attempt to subscribe but still don't have access to the members-only posts, please take a screenshot of your bank statement showing that there is no charge for the membership and paste it in the contact portion so that it will personally email me the screenshot, and I can respond with the coupon code. Thank you all for your patience and understanding.
