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:

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

Clever. Intriguing. I liked this one. It leaves an adequate amount of mystery for the story to remain in your mind after reading it. I always like a story that just scratches the surface and leaves some unanswered questions.
