 These are some stories that I wrote down.

Walking With Suitcases (2009)-- A story about a blindly selfish woman and the impact of her choices on a man and their child. Written for English 581.

Dad's Stories (2006) --I wrote this for an assignment in English 580 at SDSU. I asked my dad to tell me about gifts.

Burgundy (2006)--This deals with a very important choice that the law allows women to make. I wrote the framed story as a free-writing exercise in English 280 and completed it in 2006.

Six Dollars an Ounce (2006)--Historical fiction. It's not my favorite, but it turned out better than I thought.

Thirty-three Blue (2005)--Everyone has to have a misunderstood masterpiece, right? This is the first story I wrote for English 280, I used bits of older pieces and journals to create an intentionally unbalanced character. It's a bit over-the-top, but I get a kick out of it :)

The Reader (2004)--A retelling of an extraordinarily vivid dream.
