SHORT STORIES
As a writer, crafting short stories has always been a passion project for me. I find there is something so satisfying in capturing and sharing snippets of ordinary and extraordinary lives. Between working on full-length novels, short stories provide me with the opportunity to experiment with different genres, styles, and characters. Each story is its own world, and I am excited to bring readers along for the ride.

They only spent four hours together each night, but for Megan, it was perfect. So, each night, Megan would rest her weary eyes, embarking on a night-time quest to find Stephan in their shared dreamscape, her phantom friend who existed somewhere between slumber and sunrise.
