About Me ... I am a 25 year old graduate student at Fordham University. I am in the MA program in literature and plan to earn a Ph.D. someday. Right now I make my home in Bronx, New York, which has been quite a learning experience thus far! My primary literary interests are ... as of now ... Restoration and 18th Century Drama/Fiction, as well as 19th Century Romantics/Victorians. I do, however, enjoy good fiction regardless of when it was written. Writing ficiton is something I do in my spare time, to relax, largely to amuse myself. Others have found it amusing on occasion, so perhaps you will too. My stories tend to be character driven, and I may write more than one story based on a single character. Most of my work is not up here yet; I'm still in the process of making it fit for public viewing. :) |

The links you'll find on the page are to stories, poems and essays I've written, sometimes for school and sometimes just for fun. I have lots that I'm not choosing to upload right now. This is what I consider my most interesting work. I should note that the fictional pieces are just that - fictional. They should in no way be taken as autobiographical. I may use real things that happen to me as sources of inspiration, but once I begin a story, the characters and places take on lives of their own. Anyway ... I hope you enjoy! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
