Between Business Cards

This is Between Business Cards

Between Business Cards is a collection of short stories. Small ones, mostly — about ordinary moments that turn out to be bigger than they look. The name is the place a lot of us land: after one role ends and before the next one has a title. And it’s where I’ve found myself recently.

This isn’t a self-help blog. I’m not here to fix anyone or hand out advice. But every so often I believe I stumble onto a small human truth — usually when I’m least looking for it.

The stories are true. They happened to me. The moments that matter rarely announce themselves. They turn up in kitchens and waiting rooms and city streets. I try to find them, tell them with a little humor, a refusal to take myself too seriously, and the habit of a physician who spent years watching people up close.

So come on in. Stay a while. Short stories, small truths, and — if I’ve done my job — a quiet aha.
