Welcome to Qik/Lit — a collection of short stories designed to give you a quick hit of storytelling and a clear sense of who I am as a writer. While I normally work on superhero fiction, this is where I take chances and try something new. If you’re curious about my voice, my characters, or just want to see what kind of chaos I can pack into a few paragraphs, this is the place to start.
These stories range from grounded and gritty to strange and experimental. One might unfold like a traditional narrative; another might unravel chapter by chapter in a completely unexpected way. Some are punchy and fast-paced, others play with structure or style just to see what breaks, and what holds. If you like variety and fiction that isn’t afraid to color outside the lines, Qik/Lit is your new favorite corner of the site.
