I am pleased to offer selected Short Stories for sale. Stories are original fiction, typically historical fiction or mystery fiction with a touch of the unusual. I write as I draw: meticulous research, original presentation of ideas, and an abhorrence for cliches. Most of all, I have a desire for the work to immediately hook and interest the reader. If you like my artwork, chances are you'll love my stories.

 

Each piece is available individually, or bound in a collection of your choosing. Stories are laser printed on 8.5" x 11" single-sided paper, comb bound with a clear acetate cover and opaque plastic backing. I will  personalize and sign your copy at no charge, per your request.
