Current Projects: I’ve recently begun posting on TikTok and it’s been fun. I post random thoughts on physics/fashion/life in general, and read from my stories and poetry. I’m also on Instagram, although not as much. I also have a YouTube channel; please put my name in YouTube and it will come up.

I am always writing—I’m in the middle of three different books at the moment; two novels, one work of non-fiction, and poetry always.

Below is a 1-minute story I told on TikTok and IG.

1. Fingers of Frost  02/04/2022

The sun poured diamonds upon the land. The trees wore their best crystals as the girl entered the forest. The last night’s snow gave each limb definition; sculptures of powdery flakes lay in soft mounds upon the earthen floor. The forest was alive with light.  

The girl {touched crisp bark}, breathed in pungent brisk air. The frost was manifest silence.

{A cardinal flashed in front of her eyes. Its deep red matched her red hooded coat.}

She  looked up. Sunlight gifted the earth crimson lavender skies as it left for the day.  A sliver of moon was sleeping on its back; it looked incongruous in this grove of bark-clad giants, as if a scrap of sky was smiling.

In the meager moonlight the girl looked down at her hands—and notice silhouettes of graceful bare branches upon them. She  spied slim knotted glyphs; wings fluttered all around her. There are wolves here, she thought, and those frost-demons of folklore…they will come at with me with icicles of magic…

Frightened, not understanding the frigid calligraphy upon her person, she looked back up—

And understood the forest was exploring her.



And of course, writing: The Palace of the Seven Stories, essays, poetry…do check back now-and-then, as I will post new work periodically.

 I am also telling some 1-minute Buddhist tales. Here’s one of my favorites, called The Other Side.
