About WildWord Fiction
This is where I publish fiction-in-progress and the notes that travel with it—craft notes, revision notes, and relevance notes about living in the age of accelerating technologies. I’m drawn to stories that test ideas where they matter: in love, conscience, loyalty, and the small choices that shape a life. If you want human-hearted fiction that stays in contact with the real world—without becoming a lecture—you’re in the right place.
