Awesome pizza from homemade pizza oven (stacked brick, no mortar). Homemade pizza oven door, not shown. Brick temperature in front of fire: 610 degrees. Cooked three pizzas–two in large skillets. Could have cooked a dozen given the fire. Beautiful fall day.
Writer. Observer. Builder. I write from a life shaped by attention, simplicity, and living without a script—through reflective essays, long-form inquiry, and fiction rooted in ordinary lives. I live in rural Alabama, where writing, walking, and building small, intentional spaces are part of the same practice.
