Snapshot from East Texas

I live in the progressive university town of Santa Cruz, California. Situated at the edge of the Monterey Bay, it’s about a two hours drive south of its big sister, San Francisco.

What to do with My Short Stories…

So I was doing a bit of pc house-cleaning last night and came across my folder of short stories. For kicks, I thought I’d see how many I have, what genres, etc. Much to my surprise, over half my stories are horror stories. Kinda odd for someone who’s never published a horror story, eh?
