New Stories

Even as my body of published work expands, I have a growing inventory of short stories that are ready and available for professional publication.  Titles and descriptions can be found in the chart below.  Novels ready and available for professional publication can be found and reviewed under the "Longer Works" navigation bar to the left.

"Ocean State Eleven" indicates stories set in my native Rhode Island.

"Sivil Galaxi" stories are set in my extensive fictional universe as seen in novels The Renegades, The Bedross Ambush, Uncommon Criminals, and A Woman of Distinction, and published short stories "Interstellar Sting," "The Spark Inside" and "The Fate of the New Companion."
