Welcome

I’m a writer dabbling in mostly science fiction and everyday weird. If it doesn’t involve color-shifting love aliens, psychotropic sea slugs, gold diggers from alternate universes, or bending space-time in order to seduce your sister’s fiancé, then I’m probably not interested in writing it.

Now that I’ve published a few short stories, I thought a website would be prudent. So check out my work, maybe buy a magazine or two to help support us writerly folk.


What’s New:

My two short story collections are officially in the wild. This has been a little experiment of mine, dipping my toes into the ebook world. Delightfully Twisted Tales, Volumes One and Two are available in a variety of formats, and Volume Two is absolutely, completely and 100% free! Each ebook features three previously published pieces and one piece never before seen! Well, they’ve been seen by me of course, but the point is that there’s a bit of fresh material in each ebook.

Delightfully Twisted Tales Volume One: Close Encounters of the Worst Kind 

A shifty shapeshifter cons an intergalactic casino, a married robot couple moves to the burbs, punker space rhinos invade a small town in Colorado, and you, yes you, get to see firsthand what goes on in one of the strangest restrooms in the universe. This delightfully twisted collection of four short stories is easily devoured in one sitting and will leave you hungry for more.

Price: 99 cents

Delightfully Twisted Tales Volume Two: Fire, Fangs, and Brimstone 

An old demon gets caught up in the bureaucracy of hell, a little girl is chosen to dance for fire-breathing goddesses, a hellhound finds a loving home, and a werewolf dabbles in the online dating scene. This delightfully twisted collection of four short stories is easily devoured in one sitting and will leave you hungry for more.
