Next book update
I’d intended for my upcoming anthology of science fiction and dark fantasy short stories to be ready to publish this year but now it seems that’s totally out of the question.
In the past two years I’ve lived in three different states and held two simultaneous jobs working long hours. I know that’s no excuse for not being as productive as I should have been.
However my upcoming book titled ‘The Fragm Read more of this blog post »

quote
“Most people live in pursuit of their self-interest, forgetting that the self they serve today may not be the one they must live with tomorrow. We are so eager to satisfy our desires that we neglect the soul that must bear their consequences. In chasing what pleases us, we abandon what completes us. Self-interest is loud; best interest is quiet—and so few have the patience to listen.”

quote
“Our only true identity is that of a steward. Everything else is a costume. The more ornate the mask, the more fragmented the soul beneath it. To save the world, don’t protect your ego—plant something. Heal something. Love something. Serve something. Or be still. The garden is waiting.”

“You’re better looking than me. You’re more intelligent than me. Your personality is more likable than mine. You make more money than me. Your family is nicer than mine. Your religion is better than mine. You’ve seen more beaches than me. You’ve been to more cities than me. Your automobile is nicer than mine. Your significant other is better looking than mine. Your candidate won. Your home team won. You’re number one. But life is a tie. We all die.”

“You know, I often tremble when it's apparent that I've accidentally confused a stupid person. Stupid people have been known to kill what they don't understand.”

“I must have seen the separation coming for weeks, but simply chose not to acknowledge it. However, there was no indifference. Just pure, fraught alienation. My idea is to live virtually unafraid. We're never told of forces equally unabashed. It's a concoction for thrills, sure, but it's also a formula for heartbreak. The kind of heartbreak that congeals around the flesh; slows a person down to the freezing point, and cheats them of the most significant civilities left in this world.”
