I've studied creative writing under Nancy Kress, Paul Park, and others at Writers and Books in Rochester, NY.

My words first became print in the summer 2010 issue of Ghostlight magazine ( http://www.greatlakeshorror.com/ghostlightmagazine.html ). The story, Proselytizer's of Cheap Cuisine, is a dark comedy and can be purchased here: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/ghostlight-summer-issue-2010/11483339

My second publication was accepted by Full of Crow, a quarterly online literary magazine publishing poetry and short fiction. Some links to this online publication follow:
