Standalone Stories

This page is the home of any standalone projects (i.e. not serialized) that I choose to post for your enjoyment.  Please be sure and make note of the copyright disclaimer on the right-hand side of the page should you wish to reproduce anything (just sayin’)…

Daughter of Iblis

Daughter of Iblis was for a contest at a horror publisher.  It didn’t win, but I kind of liked it.  I don’t think I can find a market for it, so I hope you enjoy it…

Gift of the Magi

Gift of the Magi was a holiday treat I offered in December of 2010.  It’s a weird little sci-fi nativity scene. I have also entered it in this year’s Spec the Halls contest…

Teo Torriatte

Teo Torriatte won third prize in the North Central Texas College Regional Short Story contest for 2008.  I polished it up a bit and gave a good try at selling it.  Alas, no one was interested.  It was initially published in NCTC’s literary journal The April Perennial.

A Night at the Opera

Inspired by Mur Lafferty’s “Fingertips” series of stories, in which she writes “flash fiction” based on the song titles featured in a They Might Be Giants album, I will be taking the taking the song titles from on of my favorite albums (Queen’s “A Night at the Opera”) and seeing what I can do with them.
