Author has written 70 stories for Romance, Love, Song, Life, Family, Fantasy, General, and Haiku.

"There are two ways to light up a person's life, to be the candle that illuminates it, or the mirror that reflects it,"

As of January 2025: I decided to throw caution to the wind and just post what I have been writing. I fear it isn't as good as the ones I've written earlier, but you only get better if you keep practicing right? All the same please be kind.

I'm still the romantic cynic. I like ironic and paradoxical pieces. I love surprise endings. Above all, I like pieces that haunt you even after reading it.

Also, please don't bother pitching your illustration collaboration requests. I am not interested.

Please read and review my pieces. I would return the favor. I try to review multiple pieces per writer for fun. I only give honest but gentle reviews. Let's improve together yes?

Right now (from my roster) my favorite piece is "I Will Paint the Sky".

"Kiss Me While I Sleep" and "Winter Gardener" are close seconds.

"Sea Warrior" and "Splinter" my favorite haikus.

Please tell me what you think.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
