I write. It's my hobby and my preferred activity. Like all writers, I have a day job, but it's just a day job. I am not my job, but I am a writer.
I write Science Fiction, mostly short stories, although I am of course hard at work on my own version of the Great American Novel, or the Great Earthling Novel at any rate.
I am currently unpublished. O woe is me the great unappreciated artist boo hoo hoo. Oh well, on the Internet, I can have as valid a publishing presence as the three or four mega-conglomerates that own eighty percent of the media outlets in existence!
My electrons are as good as theirs!
So here is some of my fiction, some of it is Science Fiction in the strictest sense of the term, some is Science Fiction in the loosest sense, and some of it is uncomfortable being held into any one genre, and I really hope you like it. Use my ubiquitous mail link to tell me what you think. I'm a good listener, honest.
