I started writing strangely off poetry at age 15-ish, but had never really gone anywhere with it. I didn't start writing fiction until about 1999. In the beginning, I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted it to be. It was just a couple chapters of a horror-ish story that just kinda started spinning up in my head, and I started writing it down as it showed up. I've kept the first draft for posterity, and every once in a while I go back to look at it to remind myself of how far I've come. And yes, it makes me cringe. Still, it's a good tool to chart growth. I highly recommend it.

I've had several pieces published before:

A serial story - The Model and the Mad Scientist, a story about a wierd, punk rock mad scientist who reassembles a model torn apart in a fit of pique by a ravenous werewolf. It came out monthly in a free local DC Goth monthly 'zine The City Morgue, Unfortunately, The City Morgue is no more.

One of my short erotic stories was also published in the May 2007 issue of Swallow Magazine.

Welcome to my strange corner of the internet. I truly do hope you enjoy my stories.
