I stared out writing short stories only, then as I began the long, slow trek of a novelist, the volume of stories began to ebb. But I love writing them, and continue to do so, and they're finding bigger, roomier homes each time. Which is always nice.

"Ptolemy" / Electric Wine / Published January 2000
One of my more bizarre ones. I started with a simple idea of "Zodiac" and, while sitting in the "pondering room", I thought of the image of a man standing in his backyard. The constellations were pouring like syrup into a spoon he was holding. I simply wrote whatever came to mind. The result, "Ptolemy" appeared in January 2000 in the new e-zine Electric Wine. Unfortunately, they don't archive. I've had this story here for a while, but now I've pulled it for a while. I'll put it back again later. Can't give everything away now can I?
