Drawing on a number of genres the author's work wanders from literary thriller to psychological suspense, slipstream, and literary mash-ups. Much of their writing has been influenced by Magical Realism, Contemporary/Urban Fantasy, and many others as well.

The author has been influenced by a broad swathe of novelists, playwrights, and poets. Those such as Shakespeare, Donne, Dostoyevsky, Sterne, Rabelais, Virgil, Homer, The Epic of Gilgamesh, Russell Hoban, and many others spring immediately to mind.

But they have also been influenced by geopolitics, realpolitik, history, economics, business, the social sciences, science, fringe science, travel, and conversations and arguments with many interesting and crazy people over the years.

The author's intention is to reveal character at the frontier of experience and humanity. From this oxygen deprived environment, identity and action buckle psychological topographies, revealing a new and disturbing landscape bounded by a razor wire narrative and laced with amorality.
