  • New Poetry Book! Plus, Lit. Update

  • Poetry: “Happy New Year – It’s the End of Your World”

    “It takes two to tango” – this is their excuse Yes. A victim and a perpetrator. You make your lofty promises – equality for all, do as you please If you get caught, spew hate in the face of Virtue. Subliminal images and sounds are crystal clear now Your follies, your perversions laid bare for…

      While I am still querying agents for my first novel, I’m also considering releasing the poetry book through another medium.
