Bold stories

told beautifully.

New Release: A Bay of Pigs, and Other Tales.

A bitter Cuban expatriate fallen from grace, a young couple doomed from the start, a confused introvert with a dangerous imaginary friend—contained within this collection are scattered pieces from all of us. This grizzly debut anthology investigates the power of everyday cruelty with unflinching rawness. Vividly written, these unique stories explore insecurity, resentment, and loss through the experiences of human monsters. Sometimes blunt and at other times cryptic, these eight bold tales demonstrate that failure and success can be one and the same, and that shadows can be beautiful, too.

Now available on Amazon Kindle.

Ten years in the making, my first collection of short stories is available for purchase. It’s been described as captivating, addicting, incisive, and sometimes Kafkaesque. The stories are available individually for 99 cents each, but it’s a better deal to snag the entire collection. Plus it comes with my novella Venus in Running Shorts, which is $2.99 by itself.

I’ve come a long way and learned a lot—as a human being in addition to being a writer—and in their own way, these stories chronicle my journey over the past decade. So here it is and here I am. I can’t wait for you to read it.
