Trip Down Memory Lane Part 2

My short story "Controlled Demolition" was written way back in 2015 (feels like a century ago). Sadly, the conspiracy mindset of one of the characters in this story is still relevant today.

By the way, this story is from my unpublished novel-in-stories The Human Race.

My Bookshelf

I don't have many books on my bookshelf, but the ones I keep are absolutely essential. Each of these books has taught me about being a better writer and reader.

Trip Down Memory Lane - First Published Story

Here's the very first short story of mine that was published. 2015 feels like centuries ago.

The story is called "Sequels" and it's from my unpublished novel Devotion. The novel centers around a family's struggle to raise their autistic son.

The story is in an audio format and it appears around the 5:40 mark.

I hope you enjoy it!

Aspiration

One day, I hope to have enough writerly clout to be able to pull off an author photo like this. But then again, Cormac McCarthy is the only writer who could pull this off.
