These are excerpts from some of my short stories. My short story, The Dragon Shop, won an Honorable Mention in the Writer's Digest Annual Short Fiction Competition in 2001.
From The Mage and the Royal (2004).
"From her vantagepoint on the hill, she could see the entire courtyard. She could see all three bonfires, a triangle in a square."
From The Dragon Shop (2001).
"He decided to inspect the dragon, to see if she had any wounds on her. He hoped not. It was one thing to pick up teeth that had fallen out and scales that were shed, but quite another to inflict harm on another creature."
From Otherworld (2000).
"As soon as Auberon and I stepped through the gates of the park, he took off after something. All I saw was a big white blur, but I held onto the leash and followed."
From To Search for Love (2000).
"Twenty-eight years had passed and I hadn’t yet found her in this life. After not finding her in my last life I was afraid I would never find her again."
