"A lot of straight-ahead power to the book."
- Richard Silberg, Poetry Flash

“Great stuff. I feel like if Kerouac and Vonnegut had had a baby you might be it,
with Heller as your god-father maybe. Really funny."
-- Thomas Calder, fictionaut.com



New novel in progress: Adulterated Memoirs (approx 45,000 words)
an epistolary novel from both the male and female points of view, in the form of an exchange of emails between two old ex-lovers, by Jerry Ratch and Alana Illinois. Flash-Fiction.

Since the publisher for my first novel, WILD DREAMS OF REALITY, went out of business, I am seeking a new publisher to re-issue that book.
