About me

I've been writing for about 15 years in various genres, working in fiction and poetry as well as articles and essays.

My writing usually reflects a balance between information and experience.

Recently I've published my first book entitled The Consciousness Conspiracy: Poems and Written Experiments.

I've seen them, sluggishly slithering through the public, dragging their feet. Their blank eyes stare past everything as they seek satisfaction, their arms outstretched to grab that which they desire. Though their senses seem to be dulled, they somehow know that I am not one of them, and they advance towards me. A slur of semi-coherent syllables pours out of their mouths, a disturbing sound in the vicinity of language. They'...
