| Stories | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fizzgig on the Planet of the Grapes: Fizzgig the Alien is one of my favourite characters, a small green metalhead that loves apple fritters and crossword puzzles. I make doodles of him even still. This story was written while I was still in high school. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fizzgig Meets Garth Radar: This time Fizzgig is the victim of an interstellar lawn furniture emporium run by an evil genius. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Playing the Field: Girl meets boy, boy dumps girl, girl goes after boy with laser cannon. I wrote this while I lived in Vancouver, after being dumped unexpectedly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The White Lady: I'm not sure when I wrote this, probably it was during my undergraduate days. It's not the best example of my writing, but I'm including it anyway. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Sea Princess and the Fire Elemental: This is a faerie tale for adults only. Yes, there are naughty bits. At the time I wrote this I was in Alabama, I was lonely since I had few friends and my ex was acting very cold toward me. Writing this fanciful and romantic story helped me escape that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Icicle Maiden and the Spider King: This is a faerie tale for adults only. It's extremely naughty. In fact, you won't get all of the story from this website. If you want to know how it ends, you have to write to me and ask me for the rest of it. Incidentally, Tule is the name of a spider god and Renfield is the name of the mental patient in Dracula who ate spiders. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Perigee: I still have to insert a climactic scene that takes place on a space station, and there are typos, but overall I'm happy with this bizarre little science fiction mystery romance novel. If you don't have a copy and want one just ask me for one, or get it from Amazon.com. Chapter One Chapter Two Chapter Three |

| Anagama: This is a novel in progress, a cyberpunk vampire thriller. I'm about one third of the way through it. Notes on Anagama Genesis (Chapter One) Underground (Chapter Two) |

| Hypnagogia: This is a novel in progress, a science fiction mystery where the main character might have been hypnotized- or is she just psychotic?. It's based on experiences I had which led up to my first psychotic break (or was I actually victimized by a group of liars?). I'm about one third of the way through it, but I keep changing my mind about the plot for the second half. of the book. My cat Tigger provides some comic relief as "Tinkles".
