These are esoteric and unusual tales.
They are full of the weird and wilderness soaked beings I feel I know well.
I hope you find something in them that you can find nowhere else.
I wrote these tales to entertain, little more. If you gleam literary insight, if you see new patterns and dreams images and beauty within, that’s a bonus. I only wanted to spark in the reader some sense of the otherworldly. The other-worldly that is right before us or to be crass, within.
For you see I spent too long writing and contemplating success or ways to be read and now I just write. If I could get a hundred readers that would be a dream. That is the dream.
These stories were largely written spontaneously and kept simple and explore one tiny facet of the human condition, from a new angle dynamited and excavated.
“Enjoy!”

Man cannot be an island unto himself…but if he was, here’s how it might go…
