Let Sleeping Dragons Lie (Surrealist "Mystery"/"Comedy")

A letter arrived in the mail today - peculiar enough in its own right (who sends letters?). But that wasn't the real mystery: my painting was on sale. A work I had put on canvas twenty years ago in second grade. I hadn't touched a paintbrush in two decades. And yet my painting was on auction - in Japan.

Why you REALLY should be here

Why you will be here in the future

Shadow of Eternity

In Progress

A dark, epic, high fantasy saga. Currently in development. I finished the first book of the opening trilogy, realized it wasn't actually the first book, wrote the prequel (the zeroth book, I suppose), and reached a final draft before life intervened. When I can give the story the attention it deserves, I should be two to three months from completion. If all goes according to plan (or close enough), I'll be working on this for the next two or three decades. I hope to see you there.

Something

Planning

"I had a dream..." Quite literally. This universe started as a dream: a groundhog day-style loop inside a cold war, cat-and-mouse spy thriller with some, uh, non-cold war elements. That led to my first attempt at a movie script. I got about a third of the way through it before I realized I wasn't good enough to tell the story I wanted, so I pivoted. Short stories, a "novel", and a lot of brainstorming later, I'm still not sure what I have. I would call it science fantasy, but at some point there are too many genres to justify the label. We'll see where it goes.

Stay Connected

To talk to me about one of my projects, LinkedIn is best.

I'm bad at social media, but I like the idea of connecting.
