An Ineffective Hero

I enjoy writing as a hobby.  I hold out hope that one day I will get published, but until then I am content to hack away at it and see what people online think of my stuff. 

I am very proud of the three Honorable Mention awards bestowed upon me by the AuthorStand editors as well as the First Prize award.  Please take a moment to read my stories and hopefully you will agree that they are worthy of those accolades.
