Author has written 71 stories for General, Love, Fantasy, General, Nature, Humor, Life, Friendship, School, and Fantasy.

About me:

I've been writing my entire life, and still enjoy it when I can squeeze it in around working full time surrounded by books.

I write M/M Romance (otherwise known as gay romance). I will be posting a series of short stories here in an attempt to get better at writing short stories.

Most of what's been posted here is angsty poetry with a few short stories thrown in from years ago.

So, dig in and enjoy! But please don't forget to post reviews. Thanks!

My favorite authors are: Brian Jacques, Dean Koontz, Josh Lanyon, Ginn Hale, Jordan Castillo Price, Aleksander Voinov and others.
