WELCOME


HOPEFUL SPECULATIVE FICTION

> Speculative fiction stretches the world we know, exaggerating elements that
> terrify us and lure us in. But rather than a way to escape reality, I view it
> as an act of defiance against a dark future, a way to build resiliency for the
> real world around us. With just a little imagination and the occasional bit of
> magic, my stories help us move through the darkness into the light. No matter
> how dire the dystopia, humans will always find a way to embrace hope.
