Prose

     
      Over thirty of my short stories have appeared in print anthologies and webzines, including the U.K.'s acclaimed WHISPERS OF WICKEDNESS.   My short story, THE MONKEY'S GHOST was published in the anthology, HISTORY AND MYSTERY, OH MY!, which won the FAPA President's Book Awards Silver Medalist for Short Fiction.  Ellen Datlow selected my short story LION FRIEND as a BEST HORROR OF THE YEAR HONORABLE MENTION after it appeared in CERN ZOO, a British Fantasy Society nominee for Best Anthology, part of DF Lewis' award winning NEMONYMOUS anthology series. My scripts, novel manuscripts, and short fiction have placed in the Writers Foundation America's Best Competition, Writer's Digest Screenplay Competition, Writer's Network Competition, Dana Portfolio Awards, and the Shriekfest Film Festival.
