I write these days a cacophony of genres: fantasy, sci-fi, mainstream, literary, some poetry every now and then. Novels, short stories, novellas, and whatever might fall in-between. I joined ABC Tales in May of 2014, and appreciate the forum it gives me to write and experiment, and even to include my strange little illustrations next to my work.
You won't see a lot of my stories published anywhere else just yet, but please check out a few of these sites:

Lovely. Beautifully captured portrait of abuse and its scars. Those last lines finish it on a strong note.

Actually, on its own I think this poem says a lot. At least to me it speaks about the analysing and over-analysing of literature/art until its leached of all its beauty and whatever it's really trying to say. Tidily and cleverly expressed.

Love it! The rhyming and rhythm are first rate, and it's hilarious. But is this a bit more about the kind and mind of a male than I ever needed to know? I may never look at one in quite the same way again...

soft, charmed; the sort length works with the simplicity to make this poem stand out as something 'extra.' Very nice.

Cute, funny, topical. Great poem. Casting my vote for the Orang-utans too. And rainforests. And continued life on Earth and so forth....
