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:

The Return (Part 1 of 2)

They don’t want me back there. This much I know. This much I’m expecting. There’s nobody there who’ll be glad to see me. And, well, I don’t know if I...
