Author has written 27 stories for Sci-Fi, General, General, Politics, Friendship, Humor, Horror, Supernatural, Life, Mythology, Humor, and Fantasy.

Haven't been writing too much lately, or at least nothing completed enough to post. Maybe getting back in the swing of hanging here for lack of other entertainment. Maybe not. Y'all make me feel old.

I'm pretty proud still of some of the short stories; "Renaissance", "Yan and Sophia", and "Nevertheless" are probably my favorites. I'm still fond of some of the poetry but personal is not the same as important so no guarantees. On the note of poetry, it seems that fpnet's new formatting scheme has bollocksed up my line breaks again so some of the poetry is unintelligible. I may try to fix this sometime in nearfuture.

My usual bit about reviews: if I offend you, I apologize; my intention is, as someone who has been writing a long time and been given advice by people I respect a good deal, simply to put my two cents in where I feel they would be helpful. I will try to criticize every piece I read, because though I know how nice it feels to receive a "squee!" review I feel that the point of the site is to pool experience to make everyone write better. Sometimes I get a bit vicious, especially on ideologues; I have my faults like anyone else and ask your forgiveness.

Now, read on...

Bad title, I know, but can you come up with a better one? All right, all right, you can. Anyway, a sort of dry horror about Death with a capital D - not the phenomenon, the person
