VOL. 1 · SHORT FICTION

Original Pulp Fiction

I’m a fiction writer in Las Vegas. I write short. Crime, mystery, science fiction, and a little magic. Most stories have a surprise at the end.

I love pulp fiction. Hard-boiled detectives. Westerns. Strange science. Very short stories. (I love Travis McGee, too.)

I rarely go past 12,000 words. Short is faster to write and faster to read. So far, short is best.

I started as a news anchor writing 75 words a story. Now I write the stuff I grew up loving. This is where it lives.
