Writing

Short Stories
Over the last few years, I've been working on a number of short science-fiction stories. I'm in various stages of publication with most them, but I've selected a few for display here. If you like them, please send me a note (see my Biography page for contact information)-- I'd really appreciate it! Constructive criticism is welcome as well, but the key word is constructive-- I have a knack for scanning email and dumping the absuive stuff pretty quickly.

I would ask that you please respect my copyright on these works, and refrain from reprinting them without my permission. (For personal use, please just read them online; for anything other than personal use, please email me.)

Enjoy!
