Welcome, or welcome back.
I've been crazy-busy working, taking the writing classes and delving into my writing in a way that surprised even me. I realize I am becoming more and more intrigued with the idea of self-publishing.
And I've almost finished an anthology of flash fiction to throw out there, to see how it does. I plan to put it up on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and possibly iBooks (if I can get the file to format correctly. Like I said, I am still learning).
Here's the (potential) cover:
Not terribly professional. Maybe not even evocative. But it was cheap enough (meaning "free") for this experiment.
Wish me luck.

Ch-ch-ch-changes
Anyone who bothered to read this site before may notice the change of name.
That's right, it is now 'Neff.' Or I should say it is once again 'Neff.'
Long story and it all ends the same, so I will spare the details. Needless to say, I now have much more time for my writing, and have delved into it oh-so-deeply. Nothing like a little conflict in your own life to spur on the creative, cathartic juices.
That said, I have a list of projects that I am working on, and am trying to get published by one of the "Big Houses" in order to earn myself a little street-credibility. That said, I am seeing there is a lot of merit in the self-publishing route, through digital channels. Not that silly vanity press bull, but actual sales via Kindle, Nook, iBook, etc. I am playing with the first option, and writing a few little stories to experiment with on Kindle. Yes, these are all in progress. I'm a naughty kid (If you believe in that sort of thing, I am also a Libra. Supposedly we are extremely good at concept, and equally atrocious at completion).
Novels:
Umbra (A Post-Apocalyptic Mystery)
Dross (Eschatology in a Fantasy Setting)
The Opal Necklace (Alternate History/Fantasy)
Short Stories:
The Adventures of Ennid the Havoc (Belly of the Beast, Time After Time, For The Love of a Pearl) (Adventure - of course - Fantasy)
The Falconer and the Wolf (Fantasy Romance)
Clones are People Two (Sci-fi)
The Othermen (Classical Sci-fi)
Into the Water Deep (Adventure Sci-fi)
The mini-project is an anthology of Flash Fiction, to which I will post a link when I have it published.
Oh, yes... I really, really, really want to do a fanfic story for EA's underrated "Undying" title. I even have a (droll) title for it: "Undying Legacy." I don't know how well that would go over with any publishers out there, seeing that I went "playing in someone else's world," but I had most of it written before I read somewhere that it's a no-no and I could be treading on some very special toes. The storyline, after all, was written (or at least made more coherent and relatable) by Clive Barker, of whom I have been a fan as long as I can recall. I would prefer not to insult him.
