I write mostly fiction, though I like to dabble in essays and poetry and other random things from time to time. As an editor, I also do interviews and the occasional review. So here's a comprehensive list of works, which I'll keep updated as fit. Also, click on the other pages to find excerpts and such. That might help you decide what to read.
