Blink

September 16, 2018September 15, 2018

A fun little piece based on a few prompt words: Time Travel, Cat, and Journey.

I’ve been trying to write more short fiction (and trying to submit a little bit more). The big projects and sweeping landscapes are fun, but I’m trying to be a little more creatively flexible.

At any rate, enjoy!

Nasty Nattie and The Nightmare Man

August 19, 2018August 19, 2018

This one was one that I wrote a pretty long time ago, but wanted to revisit. Enem is actually based on a nightmare antagonist I had a while ago. I wanted to change his story and see if I could make him more sympathetic (or at least more interesting). Enjoy!

More Irksome Than Not

July 29, 2018July 28, 2018

Sorry for the wait! Things got a little busy between work and my parents coming to visit! It’s been a bit wild, but we’re getting back to a regular schedule.

This is a continuation of the story “Irksome”, originally published in October 2017.  I like Leaky a lot and want to put more into her story…as soon as I figure out what it is. Enjoy!

Memories

June 17, 2018July 8, 2018

This month’s fiction piece is a follow up to The Remembrance from a while ago. Feel free to read through it again before reading the follow-up story below!

We last left Cam and the crew as they left their memorial service on a desolate planet. But things change quickly in space!

Ridley’s Deck

A quick character sketch I did a while ago. Tough to say if Ridley or the deck is the character to focus on! Just something fun.

In Space, No One Can Hear You Howl

April 22, 2018April 20, 2018

This idea came about when I woke up with a half-remembered dream. Probably no big surprises with the title, but I enjoyed writing it!

The Seer Tara

Kind of a fun, character sketch and concept I’ve been tinkering with. (Plus the names are pretty Irish for this St. Patrick’s Day weekend!)

Checkmate, Death

Phew! This one was pretty down to the wire, but it got posted! Enjoy a brand new piece of fiction!

This contains mentions of death, but no description of it. Enjoy!

Alex and Millie

January 21, 2018January 18, 2018

Here’s a new piece with a pair of characters I revisit from time to time. They’re a fun duo to play with so I might bring them back. Still not sure what the relationship is, but they have a few funny quips and a decent back and forth. What do you think?
