Valmai Hammerhand is the main character (and narrator) of my first novel, which I started writing in September of 2004, finished in October of 2005, and have been meaning to rewrite ever since. Perhaps because Valmai’s story was my first real writing experience, she’s stuck with me and continued to inspire me, and I’ve written a fair number of short stories and flash fiction about her (and her universe), in addition to the novel where she got her start. I’ve decided to share some of the better short pieces here on my website, since it will probably be a long time before the longer work sees the light of day, if it ever does.
