Amazon KDP Book

These stories were written from 1993 to 2015. Some were originally graphic novels later re-written as short stories. In all, I like these works and the voice I took in each of them. I share these works with you, the interested reader in the hope they entertain and resonate with you.

This is an ongoing project in forward, realist writing. It is an effort based on the notion that our own humble present was once a wild, wonderful future.

Too often, gadgets and buzzwords drive the action in a fictional future society. My attempt is to create a real, living future for the reader based not on what the narrator tells you, but on the observables of the characters and setting. I try to use a style that puts the reader into the character's mindset.

On first read, some of it seems odd or wrong with "missing" information. Much is left unexplained in "conventional" terms. Think how confusing our conventions would be, or what would be missed by people 100 years past or future.

My words for you, my worlds to view.

Available on Amazon books


Interesting side-note. the original title of the work is "my words to you...my worlds to view...". The subtitle is in light-gray on the cover. Amazon didn't like this. They wanted the title of the book clearly written on the front cover. I like the aesthetic of a grayed-out, rhyming sub-title so to keep the art I changed the title to simply "my words for you..."
