Author has written 78 stories for General, Life, Haiku, Politics, Work, War, and Religion. I've been a long-time writer on FictionPress, but only recently have I begun to post my poetry again. Please read a few if you have time. I would much appreciate it if you did. In addition to my poetry, I will occasionally write a short story or novel (about 1 for every 13 poems). In fact, I have several novels I am working on right now. They are titled: The Empire; Glory State; After Alexandria; Rise & Fall of the Kingdom Libera; Catena's Light; Stockholm Syndrome. I also have a Tumblr where I post my writing and various other things. Please check it out! If you have any suggestions/questions, feel free to send me a PM. I don't bite... much. As always, I Thank you for your time. Remember me in the coming days, And I will continue to rhyme. | |||||
