At one time, I made my living designing games, so I have a professional interest in the games that writers use in stories. Unfortunately, most games that writers make up for stories are poor games.

Posted my first story here: Truth In Song.

After all the second guessing I went through before hitting publish, I have great respect for anyone who posts their work here. It takes courage to hit publish on anything; it is a triumph of hope over fear.
