Hullo, and welcome to the ramblings á la moi. This is sort of a "catch-all" page, so that it won't be necessary to link everything I decide to put up individually. I've broken the pages down loosely by category, which you can see below. Happy Reading!
Whoda thunk it? My first professionally published short story came out on March 1, 2000, after two years of waiting and fretting and waiting and waiting. Praise God! (And buy a copy.) Yes, friends, "If We Shadows Have Offended," written by yours truly, can now be found in a bookstore near you in Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine, Winter 2000, vol. 46!
So what are you waiting for? Disconnect your modem and rush out to buy a copy today!
Yup, my poem, "Calliope: Scintilla" was just published in the May Issue of the e-zine Fantasy, Fairytales & Folklore. Although you have to subscribe to read the rest of the magazine, you can access mine by going through the tour, located at the top of the page.
Mags, the "high priestess" of the Cult of Da Man, a.k.a. Henry Tilney from Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey has been so gracious as to request to archive my novel-in-progress about the continuing adventures of the Tilneys, Nachtstürm Castle over on her site A Web Page, by a Lady. The novel is located in her site within her site, The Cult of Da Man under the Fan Fiction section. Happy happy joy joy!
