I've performed in the poetry scene in Houston, Austin, Wichita, and Shreveport. Although my roots are in poetry, right now I'm working primarily in fiction.

My latest project, a short story called Of Love, Death, and Marriage:
The Fabled and Rumored Reputation Don Armando Mejia, is part of Soul's Road: A Fiction Collection due out in late August.

The Last Single Girl (Romance)
2 chapters   —   updated Aug 01, 2009 07:49pm
Description: What happens when Cupid's cousin Fred travels all the way down from Mt. Olympus to tell you how disappointed he is with your love life? What's more, he tells you that if you don't fall in love by Valentine's Day, you'll be the last single girl on Earth! That's what happens to Marty Sandoval, a serial dater who puts men in two categories-the glamours and the bookworms. After an encounter with Fred during a speed dating event, Marty goes on a two week dating spree trying to make a connection, start a spark, anything that could reverse the prophecy from the Gods.
