Author has written 16 stories for Action, Essay, Sci-Fi, Humor, Horror, Supernatural, and Historical.

This account is now, as far as anyone needs to be concerned, defunct. The stories and essays remain posted in the hopes that every bit of literature, every idea, every profound or inane thought captured on this site be preserved as an example of what it means to be a writer in each and everycapacity of the word. If you do happen to stroll across this account take note of what is left and draw from it what you can. Fictionpress is about learning the art of writing from others and in turn helping them write. I cannot imagine what my writing today would be without Fictionpress.

I have moved on from this site, as I expect everyone does eventually. Fictionpress is a good start for anyone and it will take you to where you need to go. Enjoy it and use it for all it is worth.

Good Luck,

Calvin Fitzgerald
