This should have been up yesterday, but I was busy walking across a good part of Manhattan and completely spaced. Whoops! Another little drabble for this week… Somewhat related to the image as well. The End is Only the Beginning I type the last few characters to end a story …
Today I’m sharing an excerpt from Demon’s Blade, the first in my YA fantasy trilogy. Demon’s Blade is currently in the revision process, with the goal being to release it in June. Here’s the old, crappy summary of the novel, which will give you a brief idea of the main …
Today’s Saturday Short is late, I know. It should have been posted yesterday. I’m pleased to have found a picture to go with it, however, thanks to A.J. Flowers’s blog and book cover resources post. A.J.’s post led me to Pixabay, which offers beautiful images under the CC0 license, meaning …
This week is another excerpt from the first draft of Upgrade, the sequel to Augment. It’s also quite late… And I haven’t even had a log update in weeks! Expect one forthcoming in the next couple of days. For those of you not familiar with the Augment universe, Viki is …
Yes, this should have been posted yesterday. On the bright side, it’s fitting that it come out today, given what today is. And, no, I’m not buying into the commercialism-ridden holiday of red hearts and chocolate. The following is something I wrote some years ago, when I was participating in …

Sometime in my past, however, I stumbled across these …
In celebration of completing Upgrade this week, I’m sharing an excerpt from Chapter One, in all its unedited glory! For those of you not familiar with the Augment universe, Viki is an Upgrader, and the main character of the series. The sections in her POV are told in first person. …
If you follow me on Twitter, you might have seen this short already. I actually wrote it on Monday in response to a challenge by @WriterEdmonds: a story story in 5 tweets or less, with the prompt “Your best friend is a ghost.” @WriterEdmonds wrote an awesome (and sad) short story …
It’s Saturday, yes, and I almost forgot to post a Short! I don’t even feel guilty (too much, anyway), because I had a chance to see the Unicorn Tapestries today and am still far too excited. They were gorgeous, and sad, and awe-inspiring, and make me want to write a …
Today’s short story is another from my past–I wrote this one in my early teens, and actual won second prize at a flash fiction contest, a local contest for a town I wasn’t from but lived near. It was the second, and last, prize I’ve won for my writing…the following …
