Short Stories

Here’s a list of some of the other stuff I’ve written.

Caldera

The land of Caldera is the world where I set my fantasy short stories. At the heart of the land is an actual caldera (just like the one in Yellowstone). There’s always lots of sword fighting and bizarre magic around.

A New Year’s Revolution

Rick Emerald and the Widow’s Will

Pulpy hardboiled noir. Hopefully. I stopped work on this one when I decided to finish my edits of Oasis before tackling more new fiction. I do plan to finish this one before I start writing the sequel to Oasis, though.

Part 1

Unfinished novel.

Around 1995-1996 a friend of mine and I started collaborating on a novel. We had no plan other than we wanted it to be cool. We emailed our work back and forth, adding a little something each time. We didn’t get terribly far, but it was my first real attempt at writing.

Scared Of You

This is a short story about two kids trying to make a crop circle in an old man’s corn field. I wrote it for a contest a few years ago. It took third place.
