So, you're here...
Howdy! I’m Ali, I love stories and so I write some on my free time.
This here little library is where I dump my original fiction, short stories and some comics. A lot of them are yet-to-finished, unpolished works, but I love them all the same.
Feel free to look around and read anything that may catch your fancy, and do leave a comment to let me know you dropped by!
