I have an MA in Composition and Rhetoric with a secondary focus in Creative Writing, so I have written plenty of fiction. Not all of it is published, but I’m getting closer now that I’m no longer teaching and have more time for my own writing.

SHORT STORIES:

As a writer, I tend toward fiction with a dark or horror bent. I find mental illness particuarly interesting since I suffer from depression and anxiety.
