Publications

Sometimes I post my short stories on my blog. Other times, I submit the stories to literary journals and magazines. If a piece gets published in a journal or lit-mag, I'll link to the newer ones here. So far, I have not had much luck, but check back often because I hear it's my turn any day now.
