Storyteller.
Short fiction.
From spectral swamps to suburban crawlspaces, I like to explores the quiet places where grief and wonder meet. The clash of the fantastic and the mundane. Stories of haunted friendships, mythic legacies, and the desperate, beautiful ways we try to reclaim love, power, and ourselves.
“Hope Under My Fingernails.”
An award-winning short featured in Creative Loafing.
Bullied, grieving, and forgotten, a boy buries his pain in clay—shaping a silent protector in the shadows of his home, just like in his father’s old books. Hope Under My Fingernails is a tender, unsettling story about love, loss, and the magic a lonely child will believe in to feel safe again.
