-Note – I just put this up as a “Page”, but I like the image so much I wanted to do a post of it too. ; )
Although I often portray myself as a man of all arts, when you get right down to it I’m a writer of fiction. My character driven stories often have a bit of the fantastic to them and sometimes can be considered fantasy or science fiction. I’ll let you be the judge on how to classify them. Below are links to the stories I’ve posted here so far.
