I won’t lie: This one was a nail biter. My computer was in the shop for a bit, so I didn’t have access to all of my files. I managed to have this one pre-written, so I polished it up a little bit and decided to post it here!
Enjoy!

The Murder at Adler Pond
It’s October and that means it’s time for a good, spooky story! I’ve been a little light on time recently, but here’s a little bit about ghosts, ancient grudges, and–of course–murder!
The Patron
A simple story about an opportunity in the form of a patron. Whenever I’m looking at D&D classes, I’m always curious what a modern-day warlock variation would look like. I might play more with this one cause I’m curious where it could go!
Cereal Box Prize
Do you remember the contests they used to have on the back of cereal boxes? Ever try to finish one?
The End of Captain Juliet
A few days ago, my friend Laurel told me about a dream that she had. The premise, she explained, had something to do with pirates in the time of Les Mis. One specific visual she had was of a woman tied to a burning ship. I couldn’t possibly turn up that kind of visual without giving this woman some kind of story. I set myself to telling this character’s story and was very excited about what came from it. I couldn’t not share it with all of you!
Princess Linni and the Moon
I love space. I like stars and planets, learning about all different space travel. As a sci-fi lover, it’s not surprising (nor is it surprising if you know my fiction). I also have a deep love of photographing the moon. It’s mysterious, bright, and familiar. This piece is a bit about that. Enjoy this extra-long piece for this month’s fiction piece!
Deviance
It’s been a wild few months for me! I started getting a little stir crazy and started volunteering a couple days a week at a horse rescue near me. It’s been really good to get outside semi-regularly and also work with really big animals. It’s very different from anything I’ve done before and I think it’s great to try new things. But what if you deviate too far from what’s expected with no reason?
The Obsidian Badge
A tale of ghosts, vengeance and billionaires! Enjoy this month’s fiction installment!
The Pirate in the Stables
This idea came to me while I was looking for some volunteer opportunities to fill some time. There was a retired horse rescue that got me wondering about what characters I’d put there. The thought of a pirate crossed my mind, so I started playing with this one. It seemed like a fun idea, so he might come back in another story one day.
Unity
I’ve always been a huge fan of space and space travel. Star Trek is a favorite of mine and I’ve always been curious about how a planet would react to a unified world government, especially the moment it was apparent that we were heading towards one. So here’s a short story about going from the final two world powers to accepting the unity of all nations. Where better to start cooperating than in space?
