“This is a fantastic essay! You are such a great writer.”

“I enjoy your essays and musings. Thanks for sharing them.”

After several readers suggested I create a Substack, the first post was sent to over 40 potential regular readers.  I wrote:

“I will occasionally send some scribbles your way, IF you so choose to receive and read. I’ll drop a few snippets and selections of my writings from columns, books and other posts, that I hope will be helpful, useful or simply a gentle Ahhh or Ummm or Hmmm.”

Then I included a link to one of my New Weekly Columns in the Selma (AL) Sun.

“I love this… You are a voice in the wilderness.”

It’s free (for now), so I invite you to subscribe to

Friendly Freethinker on Substack 

Thank you for reading and supporting my work!

“I’ve been reading your column for a number of years. I’ve enjoyed it very much and I’m glad to see you’re on Substack now.  Keep up the good work!”

“You gave words to things I’m also struggling with. I so admire what you’re doing and how you show your own vulnerabilities.”
