Author has written 50 stories for Spiritual, Nature, General, Friendship, Life, Fantasy, Love, Religion, Humor, Romance, and War. We have some new fiction up! Short little things they are (flash fiction, perhaps), but there are lengthier stories in the works, including last year's NaNoWriMo novel as soon as I finish editing it. My poetry is very wide-ranging, both in content and format: from simple human experiences to extraordinary emotional and spiritual revelations, and from strictly structured meter and rhyme to totally unstructured, intuitive verse. And then there's everything in between. | |||||||
