Hi everyone and welcome to my Write-a-thon page!

My goal is to finish writing three pieces of short fiction. This summer is already proving to be a busy, (and rocky), one, but with your support and encouragement, I know I can do it!

Clarion West is a fantastic organization-any and all donations are greatly appreciated.

If you'd like to learn more about me, my writing, and what Clarion West means to me, please visit my website.

UPDATE

7/31/2023

I've officially hit my target of three short stories!  All are flash length and include vampiric how-to guides, Midwestern aliens, and cupboard spiders eating small children. It's been fun! There's still a week to go, so I'll be writing a bonus story, (or poem). 

Thanks for everyone who's donated so far-you're amazing!
