Please pardon the dust while I try to update my media presence to the current century!
What a pleasure to see you here on my website! If you’ve found your way here, it’s likely that you’ve encountered me or my work already, but I hope you’ll spare me some time for the basics.
I’m a queer author from the Southern states of the USA, in fortunate possession of a loving birth family and a marvelous chosen family as well. Both groups fortunately now include my beloved wife Tomo and our cat Trigger/Gatillo!
I have been writing for many, many years, though I have only recently come to regard it as something I’m good at. I’m not one of those authors whose every childhood essay netted awards and whose parents ‘always knew’ she would be an author. In fact, my writing for most of my life has been something I kept reasonably quiet. But I never could stop writing. Even when it broke my heart, even when I failed to meet my own expectations, even when it never benefitted me in any tangible, material way.
Now, thanks in no small part to the wonderful people at Duck Prints Press, I’ve rather suddenly become a published author, with multiple short stories published in anthologies and several novels in the works.
That said, my writing definitely leans more towards the dramatic than the ‘clever & timely updates on bluesky’ variety, thus the creation of this website to serve as a hub for those of you who may wish to stay up to date on my writing career. Or those of you who enjoy strange modeling choices and an oddball sense of humor!
I hope to upload unpublished stories, interesting images & anecdotes, and many pictures of cats to share with you in time. Though I cannot profess to be a perfect author, I am an author that works hard. Though I cannot promise that everything here will be to your tastes, I can swear to you that it will all be human-made either by myself or by my lovely wife Tomo (see my Statement on GenAI for more information.) I hope that you enjoy seeing and reading my works as much as I enjoy making them.
