“Love and Comets” and Other Stories is a collection of stories, poems, and journal/memoir that I published on my website in 2016.

The title story, “Love and Comets”, is a space adventure and slice of life story. Maria Flores has been sent on a mission to save the Earth from several comets heading for it. In the time leading up to her leaving, she meets Hailey Wen and they begin a relationship.

The other thirty-nine stories are a mix of scifi, fantasy, contemporary, and surreal.
