Intensity That's what I write in novel form - whether as romance, mystery and suspense,, or something more mainstream.  The point is to sweep you up and make you feel. My published short fiction has run the gamut from children's stories to erotica and horror, pure genre SF to literary, dark nihilism to straight comedy.  You can check out some of the credits in the sidebar.  Peruse the whole list by clicking on the Bibliography tab. I've recently been working with Fiero Publishing to get much of my short story backlist up online, as well a new novel.  Check them out at Amazon.com or Smashwords.com and stay tuned for more updates soon.
