It was a Saturday night in January 2022. I was about to turn in when I stupidly decided to check my email before bed. I should have left that damned phone sitting on the charger.

Twenty-five years ago, on a cold January evening, I sat down in front of a tiny TV in the apartment I shared with two roommates (Three's Company-style) and watched the 2-hour premier of what would turn out to be my all-time favorite TV show: Star Trek Deep Space Nine. I had no idea at the [...]

I have a new short story out called Precious In Thy Sight: How far can one man fall? John Galen has a secret. He's a troubadour with a demon on his back, a demon who is slowly driving him to murder. In this tale of regret and redemption, Galen struggles with the bane of modern [...]
