Author has written 21 stories for Humor, Mystery, Horror, General, Sci-Fi, Supernatural, General, Romance, and Spiritual.

I've been a little too preoccupied with recording music to focus on too many literary endeavors. Man With the Iron Gun is more than a year old at this point, but I just got around to posting it up here last month. "Head" is another absurdist piece that isn't really intended to have any underlying meaning. "The Pallor of Persephone" was originally intended to have meaning, but it's largely there simply to facilitate thought--any meaning you get out of it is your own.

In the mean time, feel free to check out the short stories and poetry I've posted on this site. Some of it you might like, some of it you probably won't, much of it I rather dislike myself, all of it is mine. None of it is free. The cost of admission is time, as time governs all things here.
