I am rarely here now, am writing as much as I possibly can. Did want one and all to know that one of my stories, "The Year of the Dog" was nominated for the Pushcart Prize. The link to the story is here http://www.thiszine.org/fiction/the-year-of-the-dog-stancek?utm_source=Contribut...

I'd be delighted to talk to anyone interested about my writing.

Polutropos, my LT name, is the key characterization of Odysseus by Homer. Some of its meanings: the man of many journeys, of many turns of mind, of many turns of language, of many figures of speech, of many twists and turns. We see through this word Odysseus’s lies but also his wisdom, his wanderings and his resourcefulness.
