I'm writing speculative short stories.

Some are about technology that doesn't exist yet. Some are about technology that does. All of them are about people.

Speculative fiction has been a love of mine since I was a kid reading Asimov under the covers. After spending years building physical things, I'm trying my hand at building imagined ones.

I'll publish stories here as they find homes. In the meantime, I post about the work in progress on Bluesky.

Published Stories

Coming soon. The first one is closer than I think and farther than I'd like.
