I wrote my first real work of fiction at age 8. It was a novel, more than 200 handwritten pages, about a truly capricious group of gods (much like CrossGen's The First, in retrospect) doing some pretty pointless things. It's really impressively awful. I've got it stashed away somewhere at the house, unable to throw it away.

At USC I started to take short fiction more seriously. I was, alas, shunted off the fiction track of my creative writing major for somewhat personal reasons, and into the poetry track, but I think it's made me a much stronger writer in terms of detail and nuance. I was always very strong on plot and how the sequence of things should go, but the more subtle things evaded me until I took up poetry.

In this section you will find works covered under the Creative Commons Deed -- meaning that all files and content within this virtual directory are covered by those standards. The Crown and Faraway are covered by US copyright law as well (and yes, it took me forever to do that, oh well).

Nevertheless, please enjoy what you find here, and let me know if you have questions, comments, concerns, or what have you.
