Pysbie and Thiramus
I was struck one day by the thought that we really can’t tell what a person has dealt with in their life just by looking at them. This story, a riff on the ancient story of Pyramus and Thisbe, attempts to answer the question: What if we could? You can read it in Altered Reality Magazine.
An Unopened Letter to Shirley
Humorous speculative fiction is probably my favorite genre. This flash fiction story, published in Defenestration Magazine, addresses the potential problems for an alien when he falls in love with an earthling.
Looking For Love in Alien Places
At the risk of being repetitious, this is another poke at the human/alien love story trope. This one was published in Bewildering Stories.
This story, my first publication, appeared as the Story of the Week in TulipTree on March 26, 2019. It’s about making amends at a college reunion, with a magical twist. Sorry the formatting on the website is cumbersome; you’ll need to scroll down a considerable distance to get to my story.
