I write dark fantasy. At least, that's what I call it. You might read it and say that it is romance, or horror, or magical realism, and I think that is what is most exciting about writing stories. I get to create a world. And if I am good enough, I can convince you to live there while the pages are still turning. From fairytales, to mythology, to the sagas, I find inspiration everywhere. That is what I enjoy. And that is what I want to share with you.

I spend a majority of my writing time spent working on my books, but short stories have always been a passion of mine. The stories I'm posting here are simply for fun - a way to silence the extra characters in my head. These stories aren't always polished, some will be borrowed from my personal blog, and sometimes I might even fall behind in posting because I have two, adorable devils fighting for my attention. My hope is, even though they won't be perfect, that you, dear reader, will enjoy them anyway.
