Stories

This is a collection of my poetry. Subjects are frequently turbulent and volatile in nature, but will also include more reflective pieces on nature, the universe, and life in general.

This is a collection of my short fiction. It's mostly lightweight and meant to be amusing. Not the stuff of thought-provoking, great literature or college classes. And, often, guys misplace their clothes. This collection parallels that of my short non-fiction on this site -- Collections. Enjoy.
