Here you will find miscellaneous examples of my published pieces of writing through the years. These include some short stories, brief screenplays, the intro to a movie I was writing, and also excerpts from a couple different books I was writing!
Over time I transitioned to writing longer works, at least a couple of which are as yet unfinished but will, soon I hope, be worthy of “traditional” publishing processes. As such, the works collected on this page are mainly older and relatively unpolished, being composed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The notable exceptions are the short stories “Lotta” and “The Resting Place,” both of which were written in the Spring of 2021. Those works are possibly my favorite of the collection linked below, and they are representative of the content of my upcoming short story collection, to be published in full in 2023. Stay tuned and enjoy!
