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:

One red. One green. He watched them out of a greasy, cloudy window – the woman in the red dress, the man in the forest green shirt. On a street...
