Progress Report

| October 5, 2011

Well, I haven’t been quite as productive as I may have dreamed I could be, but I have made some progress on my stories. The untitled fantasy story is still untitled, but it’s nearing completion. I have one scene to write (something that came up in review), and I need to add a bit of […]

What I’m working on

| September 9, 2011

I’m posting this up for the world to see, in the hopes that it will help me to stay on target. Title pending (fantasy with a slight tinge of horror): About 1,400 words in. I’ve tentatively outlined out what the remaining scenes need to be, and now I just have to write them. I’m hoping […]

| April 19, 2011

I’ve been out of town for a bit, so this is the first chance I’ve had to post here about one of my stories being available online. You can find the story here. This story was originally published in the Steampunk issue of Crossed Genres. It underwent a couple of small revisions before this republication, […]
