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.

You won't see a lot of my stories published anywhere else just yet, but please check out a few of these sites:

Drift 2

These sounds. Dissonance. They intrude upon the harmony of the universe. These sounds. Deafening to ears that are attuned to something finer. And so...

Drift

This is a different kind of sleep. This is a sleep without edges, without silence, without stillness; a sleep frilled with patterns, fractals,...
