Hi, I'm Alex.
Welcome to FictionWriters.com, my digital campsite.
I'm a lot of things, but above all, I'm a writer. This tiny clearing hidden among the trees is the makeshift home for my writing. But I imagine this site growing into something more.

You will find no clickbait here.
Go ahead and toss another log onto the fire, pull up a chair, and enjoy a story or two :)
Check out my Projects (updated somewhat regularly) to see what experiments I'm running.
If you enjoy any of my work and want to say hi, I'm easiest to reach on Twitter.
Lastly, if you'd like to receive fictional stories and essays on creativity and storytelling directly to your inbox, join my personal email list below. My only "bribe" is that I may use the list to share updates and announcements that don't fit anywhere else.

The sky was beautiful the morning I was murdered. I didn’t hear the stranger creep up behind me and separate my head from my body. There was a slight pressure around my neck and then weightlessness as the world spun and the ground moved closer at an alarming speed.
