Short Fiction

I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. I’ve written everything from limericks to technical manuals, but my favorite format is short fiction.

I’ve written fiction in various genres: sci-fi, horror, erotica… The thread that ties all of my writing together is that it’s never ordinary.

I’ve included content warnings (CW) for “colorful language” and other subjects that some people might not want to read about.
