Notes

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.

My Opinions

Amazon Affiliate Notice

I'm an Amazon Affiliate and occasionally post affiliate links to products in my blog posts and throughout my website. I always disclose these links, just so there's no confusion. There's more information about this on my page about my privacy policies and disclosures.

One of the stories is available on my blog here. There’s other stories available on my Free Stories section.
