I write these days a cacophony of genres: fantasy, sci-fi, mainstream, literary, some poetry every now and then. Novels, short stories, novellas, and whatever might fall in-between. I joined ABC Tales in May of 2014, and appreciate the forum it gives me to write and experiment, and even to include my strange little illustrations next to my work.
You won't see a lot of my stories published anywhere else just yet, but please check out a few of these sites:

Nice, well written. Getting the rhythm and rhyme to come together naturally, and with a point to make, without sounding at all forced is not an easy task.

Ooh, perfect. So much to like in here, just this great collection of perfect little mini-descriptions of life. An excellent of "jingle of words" indeed.

soft, charmed; the sort length works with the simplicity to make this poem stand out as something 'extra.' Very nice.

I like this. Took me a couple of paragraphs to catch on to the fact that the story is being told from the antique's point-of-view. I think the antique (and the sparing detail about exactly what it is added to the story) definitely has a 'voice...
