rosaliekempthorne's picture

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:

Broken Windows

The grass was scary, on account of how it might have rats sequestered there amongst the blades and ready to leap out and attack. And the word ‘blades...

Big Dreams

We go out walking, not long after dinner, most nights. And this time of year it’s still plenty light out there, but the sunset is on its way down and...
