A little bit of everything...

I am in love with anything that has to do with writing (my book and stationary buying is only a little out of hand). So, in my day-to-day writing life, I write whatever I am feeling. Sometimes this means I might write a poem or two, hash out a short story that came to me as I was dreaming, or work deep into a chapter of one of my novels. Drawing and painting are also mediums of expression that I engage. Fortunately for me, there are other people who like what I write, paint, or draw, and some of my work has been published in various anthologies and journals. Here are lists of a few:
Novels
The Ninth Planisphere (in progress)
Cæspeia Rising (in progress)
The Art of Escapism (in progress)
