Dream Signs

My debut short story collection was published by Lost Fox Publishing and is temporarily out of print.

Dream Signs is a collection of short stories that takes you on multiple journeys through multiple worlds, all unified by the common cause of realizing one’s dreams. Alternating between realism and fantasy, romanticism and domestic complexity, actions taken and words left unsaid, these stories show that the tragedies of life are inevitably outweighed by the triumph of landing where one’s heart desires.

Featuring short stories and a novella that have appeared in several literary publications, this collection offers insight into the integral part of life that is dreaming and guides us through the challenges one may face to make their dreams a reality. Adventure abounds within the souls of these characters as well as outside of them to form a complete picture of what it means to see one’s footsteps ahead and follow them.
