These stories are rooted in CHamoru folklore, island history, and the belief that the past does not remain silent.
While each narrative stands on its own, they are connected by a shared mythological framework – where ancestral presence, spiritual law, and human choice shape what endures and what is lost.

Short Fiction & Folklore
The Siren’s Daughter
Historical Fantasy / Folklore Retelling
The Siren’s Daughter is a dark retelling of the CHamoru legend of Sirena, set during the early period of Spanish colonization in Guam.
Framed through the lives of women across generations, the story explores grief, transformation, and survival – revealing how myth shifts when history is rewritten, and how the ocean remembers what is lost.
Sisters of the Reef
Mythic Fantasy – Completed, Unpublished
Sisters of the Reef is a completed but currently unpublished short story inspired by CHamoru oral traditions from the Northern Mariana Islands.
Set before Spanish colonization, the story imagines a bond between a village healer and two reef sharks – protectors not only of the sea, but of balance between humans and the natural world.
As colonial violence approaches, the story traces how relationships with land, sea, and spirit are severed – and how memory persists even when those bonds are broken.
