Born in Worcester, MA in 1980. I have always been interested in the arts. I have been writing since I was younger, and also have a love for music, and play many different instruments. Recently I have had my first publication, a short story included in “Memescapes: A Journal of Contemporary Literature.”, which unfortunately at this time is only on sale here in MA. If you wish to purchase a copy, send me a message and I can get you the information you need for it.

I am mainly a fan of horror, science fiction and fantasy, and would say that my biggest influences have been Stephen King, H.P. Lovecraft, Robert Anton Wilson, and Douglas Adams. However, lately I have been drawn to literature, and have been reading Hemingway, Hawthorne, and J…

For the past four nights, I have been hearing voices. Well, one voice is more appropriate, because I have yet to hear a reply. Four times now I have gotten out of bed and crept downstairs, following that faint sound, and four times I have stopped in front of the refrigerator, perplexed. It’s coming from in there. Of course, this is impossible, so I don’t know why I keep walking down here. I haven’t opened the door yet when I hear this voice, because I keep imagining some gnome or something t...

Coffee Talk The sound of mixed voices traveled in one ear, banged around inside for a moment, and went straight out the other side. People hurried by, talking into their cell phones, or looking at the ground that lay in front of their next step. Weary eyes careful not to meet those of another approaching from the opposite direction. Tables lined the sidewalk with umbrellas impaled through the center, creating shade for the comfort of those sitting beneath them. Of course, the multi-story buil...

It's an interesting take on the image we had as children of the north pole, and the workshop of Santa (although you never mention him, I assume he will play into this?) The only thing I really recommend on this is to not refer to Old Man Winter as, well, Old Man Winter all the time... you can really revert to saying "He did this, or He did that.." instead of "Old Man Winter did this..." Since you haven't brought in any other characters really, we know who you are speaking of. Maybe use his na...
Poetry / Hardly Human
This is interesting. I do think you have overused the ellipsis, and I understand it is for diction, but there could be other ways to get that across. Perhaps a - at the end of something, indicating a break, but not seeming like a loss of thought? Just a suggestion. It is a good piece. We all have things we keep close, because we don't understand them well enough, but run from. There was some good imagery throughout the piece as well. I especially liked the part about messages taped to the bac...

I like it. I like how it can reference the creative process of a piece by comparison to the living birth process. Good work.
