“Find the key emotion; this may be all you need know to find your short story.”
- F. Scott Fitzgerald
“When Apathy Comes Knocking (It Will Come Back)”
Symbolism for a hundred dangers weave through this fantastical warning. As our characters find out, what you let through your door…

“September’s Eve (The Ghost’s Warning)”
Eerie short story inspired by a foggy September’s Eve and the fear of losing imagination. As Fleurie sings in “There’s a Ghost,” you find that the ghost is wearing a familiar face, and “she is paralyzing…”
“Loving the Weary Traveler”
One of the short stories of which I’m proudest, full of loss, reflection, and redemption. Largely inspired, of course, by Hozier lyrics (as great fiction often is).
