Beans - Part III

The startling conclusion to the "Beans" epic has arrived!  Even if you think you know how Jack and the Beanstalk ends, you don't know what happens in this version.  Read on, and enjoy!

Beans - Part II

"Beans" continues with the second installment!  So if you dare, read on and prepare to enter the fairy tale world of the bean...

Beans - Part I

First, I have another story up on North by Northwestern.  You can read it here!


This week begins another multi-post story.  Don't worry, this one will only last three weeks, not two months.  It is a reimagining of a classic fairy tale (you'll figure out which one), but told from the perspective of a minor character.  A very minor one.


Enjoy, and come back next week for Part II!

Fables for the 21st Century and Beyond: The Ant and the Grasshopper

This week's story is another Aesop retelling that satirizes modern society.  As you can tell, teaching moral lessons is a virtue I hold dear.  Definitely take these teachings to heart.  They're important.

Wax Poets

I have another story up on North by Northwestern.  You can read it here!  I now have a staff of editors reading my work, so even if the title is the same, the story is new and improved!  Well, mostly just improved.


And back to Linguistic Gimmicks.  Today's post definitely fits with the blog's title.  It's also a new style of work:  a monologue!  Other than saying it's an homage with a sprinkling of meta-ness, I really can't explain it more, so you'll just have to read on.

Embedded Poetry #2

Before I introduce this post, I'd like to make an announcement.  Some of my work is being published by North by Northwestern, an online magazine!  I'm very excited, but this does not mean that this blog will receive fewer stories.  Keep coming back every Tuesday for the week's post, and now you can also check NBN's website for more (such as this week's post).


Today's post is a sequel to Embedded Poetry #1.  This is where I write a poem in one style of poetry about another style and then do the reverse.  Happy reading!

Bartholomew Templeton Meets His Alter Ego

Remember Bartholomew Templeton from past stories?  He's met some ghosts and made a waffle so far, but this new story brings him on an even crazier adventure.  An adventure to another dimension.
