On this page you’ll find the best of my writing, as judged by various contests on the interweb.  It may be tooting of the self-horn variety, sure, but why should I force you to slog through my more mediocre offerings when the hard vetting work has already been done for you?

I strongly encourage you to click through to the home pages of the contests themselves; they’re a great spot to find some top notch writing on a regular basis.
