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:

Just Past Three in the Morning (23)

Penny was beautiful. No, even that doesn't do her justice. She was a work of crystallised sugar and sewn-together starlight. And seeing her, walking...

Just Past Three in the Morning (22)
