Reflections at Various Speeds

I had gotten confused about the release date but apparently my second volume of poetry, Reflections at Various Speeds, will be coming out NEXT MONTH!
It's a different beast from Gun Control for Polar Bears. Its contents are much older than the poems in Gun Control as well. Most of Reflections was written as lyrics in my youth. I hope you check it out!

I actually did the artwork for this one. I wanted something minimal and this is the closest I could get to what was in my head.

Moving Forward

I found out pretty quickly that there's a lot of hurry-up-and-wait in this business. It's rarely as easy as 'write something and get it released'. I've got tons of material, some I'm working diligently on and some I've been sitting on for a while now. While my first poetry book Gun Control for Polar Bears is still out there, another volume is on the way in Reflections at Various Speeds. Before more poetry (I believe before anyway) there will be Last Rites of the Capacitance, a science fiction novel. I'm very proud and excited for it as it's my first novel. As I've stated before, I never intended to be a novelist, I kinda fell into it. While I've written short stories, scripts, comics, and poetry, this is my first actual novel. While I understand it's quite trite to say "It's got a little bit of something for everyone" it kinda rings true for it while being a hard scifi book involving space travel and experimental medical science. Drama, humor, horror, suspense, romance, sex, and science; it's all in there. I didn't even know I could write a book, let alone a book like that. Before the novel and before the second volume of poetry, I've just self-published a horror anthology Sharp Items & Bad Intentions featuring three stories I'd sat on for a long while. The ebook is now available on Amazon.

With the wonderful Supposed Crimes I've had Gun Control for Polar Bears (my first release and their first work of poetry) and I've got a short story in their vampire anthology Canines (available as an ebook at www.supposedcrimes.com.

And now I'm pushing forward on my own and continuing with Supposed Crimes:

 

Of course there are still writings I've had on this blog and a LOT more to come. I'm writing more to eventually send out to other publishers. More for Supposed Crimes. And more to self-publish. I hope you can all see these different sides of me.
Keep reading!

SHARP ITEMS & BAD INTENTIONS

I spoke about this Long ago but I've finally got it out. Sharp Items & Bad Intentions. A horror anthology with three tales of gruesome horror. These three brutal stories started off as screenplays but it wasn't working out. I transferred them to stories and put them together. After sitting on it for the longest, I sent it to a partner in crime, my wonderful aunt, Wanda Hoffman. She edited it and we went back and forth trying to help get it to a new format. So this evening it became officially available online in my first self-publishing venture. You can find it here - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075TJ6YY7/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506046018&sr=8-1&keywords=Sharp+Items+%26+Bad+Intentions
