I am far more comfortable writing novels than I am short stories — why use one word when you can use a dozen? — and with regard to poetry, I have nothing but the greatest of respect for people capable of writing in such a concise and elegant form. Nevertheless, I’ve had a handful of stories and one poem published over the years, listed below. The stories that are now out of print can be read on my OOP Reprised page.
I doubt you’re here to read any of my academic work, but I’ve also included it below.
