We survive the story.
But not all of us leave unbroken.

Transgressive, queer, and uncomfortably real.
Fiction for anyone who never fit the mold.

About David

I prefer stories with a literary bent but are way too dark for the decent society. I like the kinds of stories that show me the real world, especially the parts that no one really talks about. I don't always write neatly-wrapped-up endings. Not everything resolves in a fancy little bow.

If you ever felt too queer, too angry, too weird to be welcomed into someone else's story—this is yours now.
