Announcing new short story collection "Won't You Give Me Some of Your Love?"

I'm excited to announce my first story collection, Won't You Give Me Some of Your Love?

The book will be available to purchase on Amazon on February 1st, 2026.

Here are one-line descriptions for each of the stories:

Mrs. Pac-Man Waits - A neurotic man's love affair with Mrs. Pac-Man over her sister, Galaga. First appeared in Ox-Mag.

Returns - A paranoid case of mistaken identity over misdelivered mail. First appeared in Wrath-Bearing Tree.

Contextualized Loop - A man is investigated for the deaths of two girls he found in this meta, dream-like deconstruction of context.

Good Deeds - A sarcastic ex-convict bartender gets involved in a murder-for-hire plot that questions her morality.

Comes, Goes - A father recounts to his son about the time he was so desperate for money that he destroyed his mother's legacy.

Have a Good One - A young adult grieves over someone he never knew in this meta exploration of family, memory, and storytelling.

Mechanics - A short scene at an auto shop depicting current political binaries.

Plummeting - A man watches a woman fall to her death and imagines a story about bird-human hybrids in this imagistic frame-narrative on suicide. First appeared in Pacific Hawaii Review.

Buddha Didn't Speak on Eating Popeyes - A Buddhist's existential crisis over vegetarianism while eating at Popeyes. First appeared in Oddball Magazine.

Won't You Give Me Some of Your Love? - A jaded museum worker's metaphysical quest for love. First appeared in Neon Origami.

This collection has been a year in the making because going from writing novels to short stories was a difficult process for me. I am proud of the results, however, and I am beyond excited to share these stories with you.
