I'm here to share unpublished and previously published works of mine, mostly short stories as I am a fiction writer. I dabble mostly into metafiction, romance and erotica styles of writing, but I also write using different genres and styles. I also write creative nonfiction and poetry. I will post some here from time to time. I have written fiction for a general (non-queer) audience and specific queer audiences, and continue to do so.
I will also provide some editorial thoughts on how these manuscripts came about, as I believe it could help in the discussion of how writers write. It is also a way for me to share, as an author, the reasons why and how the stories came about. For the previously published works, I will also post their corresponding publication details in case you are interested to see the book anthology where a specific story was included.
The photos I use in this site are all mine.
Thank you for reading. Feel free to comment and share. Engaging conversations most welcome. Discrimination is not.
