Weathered piers in the light across Provincetown Harbor

I write of mystery and life’s comedies, often involving encounters with inopportune truths. My writing is shaped by music, art, my experience as a performer, and an enduring regard for those who live outside the mainstream.

The opening of The HomePort Journals

“If you’re gonna live in this town, dahlin’, everybody’s gonna know your business whether you want them to or not. There are busybodies at every corner, just waitin’ to get the goods on you, and not all of them are old bags like me.” — Dorrie Machado, resident curmudgeon
