This page showcases my creative writing, mainly in fiction. Currently, I have only included exercises that I have no interest in publishing, since I am waiting for my more serious work to be accepted. I am also currently working on a novel. All files are in Adobe PDF.
The Daughter's Will
Charles Prescinilli said there had once been a decorative glass covering for the bulb but that one of his clients, angry at learning that her husband had left her nothing, had thrown her stiletto and cracked it.

A Character Sketch
There is a large mahogany chest in the basement that is filled with all sorts of clothes, and the girls often amuse themselves by playing dress-up. Katrina likes to put on a coconut bra and pretend to be Ariel from The Little Mermaid. She tells Michelle, who has to be Eric or Flounder, that it is because she has the prettier voice. Sometimes this discussion breaks out into a fight, and Katrina gets sent to her room.
