David Joiner’s Writing, Travels, & Photos
I’m
an aspiring writer who loves to travel, which explains the whole point
of this website. I’m also a fiction editor for Our Stories literary
magazine, a writing instructor, and a freelance writer and editor.
On this
website you’ll find some of my published fiction as well as
excerpts of novels-in-progress. I have also uploaded numerous photos of
my life in Hawaii and my experiences overseas. Feel free to check back
often, as I do my best to update my photo pages regularly.
For those of
you who happen to be foodies, please drop by my food blog
http://theworldtastesgood.blogspot.com.
I’ve posted food essays and food fiction there, as well as
recipes, restaurant reviews, and food journal entries from Hawaii and
around the world.
I’m
planning to start another blogspot blog for my
stories, essays, and novels soon, but I haven’t had the time
for this recently, nor have I come up with a good, available name yet
for the blog. Once I have that up and running, I’ll be
transferring everything from here to there.
In the
meantime, if you’re interested, for $0.99 you can download
one of my published “Vietnam stories” to your
Kindle, or to a Kindle app, at Amazon:

Thank you!
