* * *As long as I can remember, I've been writing things --poetry, short stories, attempted novels, articles, and essays--and I've got quite a collection to my name. Some have been published; others are my own musings; still more are works in progress. Below are some samples and excerpts...


**I had to take some of my works down for now. I'm working on getting published, and I doubt anyone would want to publish anything that's displayed on the web. I hope everyone understands. To see some of my newer works, go to my my blog page on myspace.com.
Samples of my novels and short stories:
