On this site you will find links to my stories, blurbs from those stories, and other oddities that flow from my thoughts and dreams.

And what you think is about to change…

Evelyn’s Pride
Available now in Awakenings, Of Rust and Glass Issue 15, Evelyn’s Pride watches Jack Higgins as he follows "some obscure path of survival that had to periodically intersect with the Mississippi like blood through the heart.” That path, as it turns out, is not his own, but one of discovery through the brutal mistakes of others.

Down an abandoned hallway lie forgotten rooms.
Each room contains secrets left, forgotten, lost, or locked away.
Some are wonderful and beautiful, others are dark and terrible.

God of the Supine Obelisk
Available in the new WriteHive Anthology entitled Navigating Ruins, the story follows the efforts of a lowly acolyte to steer clear of heresy as new evidence of the origins of his religion is uncovered.
While the high priest and temple historian square off in an ecclesiastical battle for canon, Nyman tries to navigate around it all even as his god manifests itself in the body of the elder priest and historian. Among it all, an archeotheurgist, known colloquially as a Shard Speaker, undermines the new findings by dismissing the new artifacts as “quite mad.”
