About Me
I'm a published author--my short story, "Hide the Weird," will be in an upcoming issue of Space and Time Magazine. I write short stories and novels whenever I'm not paying The Man--or is it the other way around?--and my free, previously unpublished story, "Shadows," will be placed first in the portfolio.
Type of Writer
Novelist; short story writer; essayist; memoirist; so-so poet.

Differs. Staccato for mysteries. I'm told my dialogue and description rock. I believe that less is often more.
