Over the two and a half decades, I have had the opportunity to author several books and more than a hundred articles. Nearly all of them are listed below and most have active links to the respective work online. In some cases, I have deleted works here or indicated Removed from Circulation after the entry. This takes place when I have decided I'm not particularly satisfied with a piece of writing, and I make the decision to either shelve the idea entirely--e.g. "Restless Auditor" collection--or undertake a revision. After my June 2018 graduation from Marylhurst University, I've just begun returning my focus to writing and editing my fiction; I still plan on doing essays from time to time. Starting early 2024, I began working on a new novel.
