"The House Up the Street" was the first short story I wrote.  I was about 10 years old, and since then I've written literally hundreds of pieces.  Everything from poetry, to a series of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" - inspired stories called "Dreams", to a ridiculous knock-off (taken seriously @ the time) of Madonna's song/album "Erotica".  There is so much to be mined from these pieces, and I believe it will make for one helluva book.  This project is currently being outlined.
