Short Stories

I write short stories in sci-fi, fantasy, comedy horror, and literary fiction, blending lighthearted moments with darker settings to create engaging, thought-provoking tales. My work has been featured in Last Girls Club, Solarpunk Magazine, Decoded Pride, and Microcosm Publishing’s Bikes in Space anthology series.
