Novels
Alice
This is my first novel. Oddly enough, this was written largely in November 2004, but has nothing to do with the National Novel Writing Month.
Alice is the story of a troubled young woman who follows a glowing figure into a garden on a dark city night. Inside, she finds that in order to leave again she must face not only strange people and creatures, but also her own past. Quite loosely inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, the story is probably best categorized as fantasy. The completed novel weighs in at a light 51,849 words.
You can obtain the story by clicking the link below. Check back occasionally as the story may become available in other formats. As of December 1, 2005, it has been downloaded at least 307 times.
