Author bio:
I’m a writer of many stories and little attention span—which means most of what I write is flash fiction or drabbles.
I’ve been trying since 2005 to finish something longer and while I’ve won NaNo twice and Camp once I still haven’t gotten past ‘really rough draft’. I’m hoping to change that come 2012 when I’ll be serializing some of the older novels and trying my hand at longer short stories.
So far I have attempted:
• In Dreams of Trees - 2011 (Fantasy) [WIN]
• The Phoenix Colony – Camp August 2011 (Science Fiction)
• That Don’t Impress Me Much – Camp July 2011 (Fantasy) [WIN]
• The Sundering – 2010 (Science Fiction) [WIN]
• When Good is Dumb – 2009 (Urban Fantasy)
• Woven – 2008 (Fantasy) [WIN]
• Dogs of the Never Never – 2007 (Urban Fantasy)
• The Gate to Fenrith Lei – 2006 (Fantasy)
• Unnamed Project – 2005 (Fantasy)
