Welcome to the Works

Due to grad school, jobs, etc., I haven't written much lately in the way of "fine art". Hopefully soon. However, feel free to search for newspaper articles at http://www.paloaltoonline.com/.



I also do freelance writing, editing, and general word-marketing for a variety of clients. Soon, I'll get myself a real site with more recent and more pertinent samples with which to advertise my services.



If you are new here, and you are a creative nonfiction person(which you should be), try out the essays "Reductions in Force," which is my personal favorite, "In Exile," for Russian types, and "The Cave," which has received a small honor or two (one). If you prefer fiction, I would probably refer you to "The Lady of the House". However, "Superior" has won multiple awards, so evidently people like it.



NOTICE: If you are a plagiarizer, please don't plagiarize me.

Superior (fiction)

Author's note: This is the story that won the USU (Scribendi) fiction contest for 2008, the Dylan Days fiction contest in Hibbing, MN, and got me a place in the finals of Hollins University's annual short fiction contest. That's perhaps the best writing school in the country, and I was the only finalist (there were 9) west of Arkansas, so I don't feel too bad about not winning that. This was my first attempt at unreliable narration, but I think with time it turned out all right. Enjoy it here courtesy the Scribendi website.
