Author has written 28 stories for General, General, Humor, Song, Humor, and School.

The stuff below pretty much speaks for itself. The less said about it, the less painful.

"Ev's Letter to Posterity" and "Accompanying the Money and Hard Goods" belong to the same fictional setting - touching the same corner of the world, at that. - just in case you were dying to know.

3. Accompanying the Money and Hard Goods »
Illoi did save most of the letters. You would’ve too, had you the luck of such a correspondent. (A story, with a fictional setting, in 14 letters. Already finished, updated every week.)

4. Kathleen
Character study. You see this girl on a lot of sex-based sitcoms. In case you couldn't tell, I'm not much of a fan.

5. Ev's Letter to Posterity
"Ev was a singer. I was his backgrounder..." (That is to say, this story is a waste of everybody's time. Move on.)

7. In Thanks
Some people are just awkward. And sometimes life puts such people in cruel juxtapositions. And sometimes a poem really doesn't have any ready summary. And sometimes the authors winds up looking stupid in that case. No, wait. Mosttimes.

9. At his Deft Hands reviews
So what's the difference between the "general" and "life" categories?... erm, I mean, hello. Hope you enjoy the poem.

10. Lowell Girls reviews
Those who pay attention in history but not because they enjoy it will assume by the title that this is not a fun poem. And it's not. (That's what happens when you write angst with the intent of angst, however light.)

12. Jim Malloy and his Stowaway reviews
Poetic license: when you can take an anecdote found in a fiction novel of about a hundred years ago and give it some well-deserved attention in the form of poetry.

14. Cool
Actually, the real title is "Said by a Mother Who has Suffered a Long Week Since her Socially Mobile Son Attended a Sleepover." But it wouldn't fit.

17. Manifesto of a Body Going on Strike reviews
This is not "good" poetry. I suggest you read it while you're sick - the same state I was in when I wrote it. 'Cause if you're half-dead it's kinda funny...

19. An Elephant Never Forgets reviews
It was only two young women, only a bit of forgetfulness, only a hospital visit, only the moment that should have made or broken their friendship and didn't do either. Mature themes. One-shot.

20. Toad reviews

21. Son of a Jailbird: Learning to Live reviews

Not my poem to be proudest of, but as it's an optimist's war-cry, might as well follow that advice, right? I wonder if the "got milk?" people would purchase this... COMPLETE
