Fiction is my primary passion, though I have been known to produce the odd creative non-fiction work, play, or poem. See below for a full listing.

As you can tell, there have been some dramatizations and/or vocal recordings of some of these pieces. If you’re interested in using any of my work on stage or in the recording studio, drop me a line! I welcome the collaboration.

And for the curious, the number at the end of the citation is how many journals I had to submit the piece to before I found someone who would take it.

Novels
