Writing
I write literary fiction with a dark fantasy sensibility — psychological, exploratory, and occasionally funny. My stories take abstract questions seriously enough to build characters and worlds around them.
I’m currently at work on a debut novel, which is in the editing stage.
The short fiction below gives a sense of the range, tone and territory of my work.
