Writing Fiction

I announced nearly two years ago that I wanted to try my hand at fiction. I began working first on a novel (which I'm still working on) and later on a short story, which I finished writing earlier this year... 

I believe I have just finished editing the short story. 

I've decided to publish two versions of it, one with my writing process and one without:

The short story, Karen's Nine, will be available only in Kindle.

The book that contains Karen's Nine plus my process is titled Fiction Fling. This book will be available only in paperback.

Fate & Folio

Several narrators recount their perspectives
and how they lived through an event.

Each perspective adds shape to what happened,
offering fragments of truth, memory, and meaning.

Together, they form a mosaic of impact:
how one act echoed through lives, places, and things.

With a preface that speaks in stillness
and chapters that shift in voice and tone,
this book invites readers to witness a story from various angles,
through the eyes of several narrators,
who uncover the fabrications behind a wrongful accusation
and the deliberate cover-up that followed.

Update: July 31, 2025

In December 2024, I set self-imposed deadlines for several new projects in 2025 and promised myself to finish at least three started-but-abandoned projects from before. 

I am happy to report...

1) that I'm still on schedule with my new projects Whiskered Wonders (March 15, 2025) and Xenial Xenophile (June 15, 2025), both by Pishi Pooch. The next Pishi Pooch book will hopefully come out on September 15, 2025.

2) that I just submitted the third / last unfinished project, Fate & Folio, to publish it. In case you're wondering, the other two unfinished projects were Formula Free by Pishi Pooch (July 4, 2025) and Freewrite Focus by Noosha Ravaghi (July 25, 2025). Formula Free was supposed to be a Noosha Ravaghi book, but I thought it would be fun to Pishify it... so here we are.

I also published Quiet Quarters on May 26, 2025, but that wasn't planned or scheduled. That tiny memoir just poured out of me.

Many thanks to all who have supported me by reading these books and big hugs to those who have reviewed them.

Freewrite Focus


Freewrite Focus invites new and seasoned writers to rethink the so-called "rules" of writing and to practice what really matters: clarity, curiosity, and voice.

Each chapter explores a core element of creative writing from structure and subtext to character freedom, figurative language, and even grammar. Lessons are brief and practical, followed by exercises that encourage experimentation, exploration, and skill-building.

Whether you're revising your tenth draft or starting your very first sentence, this book is designed to help you sharpen your instincts, strengthen your storytelling skills, and trust your creative process with just honest insights and real practice.
