Free novels for download →
As I said on the linked page, please download and read my two novels for free, all I ask is that you write a positive review for them on Amazon. They are both pdf files, so no fears of viruses or gummy worms. Please enjoy. There are also links here to order the paperback version of In the Flat Field, my newest, dark cyberpunk novel and Kindle versions of ITFF and Blue, my first book. Thanks!

I just finished watching the documentary Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry by director Alison Klayman and it moved me to tears. If you get a chance, watch it. You won’t regret it.

the art of glass and journals
I have some ideas that I have thought about before and even put together for a show, using old windows, found glass, paint, other media to create sculptures or assemblages that involve layers or a series of glass pieces that are attached to each other in ways that invoke seeing, vision, layers, and perhaps healing or the idea of putting bandages on our eyes.
Need to do some sketches and/or get to...

Developing a Daily Journal Writing Practice
I began thinking about developing a program for helping people with keeping a daily journal when I saw once again how much our daily life is focused on images and short snippets of information. I enjoy the massive flow of information on the internet as much as anyone but I think that in some ways our media focus has taken away from our abilities to sit quietly and reflect and write and think...
for Art Murmur in Oakland
If you are going out to First Friday in Oakland, the Art Murmur, or if you are in downtown Oakland tomorrow night stop by the Empyrean Towers show, an eclectic mix of visual art, with live music, spoken word, and potluck. I will be there with some new work. 7-9 pm 344 13th St., look for big tree mural outside.

new novel →
my new novel, In the Flat Field, an epic dark cyberpunk affair, is now available in kindle and paperback on amazon and createspace. It took me about ten years to write and with baby, work, life, several months just to self-publish. Almost a year maybe. This is my second completed book, first official full-length novel. Self-publishing has come a long way in ten years and the marketing side...
