A variety of short stories because I have a very active imagination. A Written Whisper explores what would happen if you were cut off from the world because of a natural disaster, how would you react when the ones coming to save you aren't who they say they are. Chances looks at alliances and the road to power. Many more included and will be added in a variety of genres. My first story on Wattpad!

All of our experiences as LGBTQ+ people are different, informed by religion, culture, race, ethnicity, gender, etc. so an important part of being in a community is sharing with one another how we're navigating being queer in this world. Of course, you don't have to be queer to share in this space with us. Being an ally brings many of its own challenges, and we're stronger together. Sharing our stories is uplifting for people in darker places, and comforting to those who can relate. I'd like to thank T-Mobile and Wattpad for giving me the opportunity to bring you this short story! Hopefully, it'll inspire you to write your own stories for T-Mobile's #UnlimitedPride write-a-thon.

Cosette Whitlow is a society matron...if tiny Bradley, North Carolina, has one. She kindly volunteers for all the town's charities, but isn't nearly as kind to her own family, neighbors, and friends. In fact, Cosette is emphatically disliked by much of the town-including octogenarian Myrtle Clover. And Myrtle knows that dislike in Bradley can quickly turn deadly. No one seems surprised when Cosette's body is discovered during a party she's hosting-she was struck on the head with a croquet mallet. Wanting to restore order to the small town, Myrtle resolves to track down the killer-before the killer strikes again.

It's just an ordinary day for octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover-until her yardman discovers a dead body planted in her backyard. This death isn't cut and dried-the victim was bashed in the head with one of Myrtle's garden gnomes. Myrtle's friend Miles recognizes the body and identifies him as Charles Clayborne... reluctantly admitting he's a cousin. Charles wasn't the sort of relative you bragged about-he was a garden variety sleaze, which is very likely why he ended up murdered. As Myrtle starts digging up dirt to nip the killings in the bud, someone's focused on scaring her off the case. Myrtle vows to find the murderer...before she's pushing up daisies, herself.
