Enjoy this must-read collection of paranormal short stories that will have you feverishly turning each page with nervous anticipation!

The 19th-century legend and humorist Mark Twain once said, “If that rapscallion Bryant ever makes it into this world, pay no mind and remove yourself, lickety-split! His tomfoolery and short story shenanigans will decompose your sense of humor, as well as your belief in the hereafter or wherever your horse will take you!” Available on Amazon!
REWORLD
The thing you need to understand right off the bat is: this is not real. The world you and I live in; we’re in a reworld. We are on the ‘do-over’ planet. Due to a convergence of several environmental catastrophes, the Earth will become inhabitable. This is the story of a second chance. A little time travel, a skosh of history, and a generous helping of speculative science-fiction brings us to the precipice of cataclysmic ruin and maybe, back again. Maybe. Available on Amazon
