Look, I'm not going to yank your chain.

I write stories. Some of them are funny. Some of them have a bit of a horrific edge and some of them are just weird.

My stuff isn't going to change your life.

I don't have keys to some literary toy box of ALL THINGS GOLDEN.

Some of my stuff sucks.

But I'm trying to fix that.

If you are looking for a distraction while you're waiting for the bus, on a lunch break or on the toilet, I'm your gal!

SO, if you climb aboard, hold on tight, I'll do my best to take you on a ride that will make you forget your troubles for awhile.

Look for me on Amazon.
