Compulsive reader, Clarion West Writer’s Workshop graduate.  My published works total about 20 articles, poetry and stories.  Which is to say, I’m still learning and welcome all constructive criticism.

My other passions are Hendrix, Bjork, Gregorian chants, biophotonic medicine, architexture, astrology and psychology, semiotics, interdisciplinary studies that link science with the mystical, 19th century gothic lit, ancient cultures and philosophies, paranormal research.  I love people who think outside the box.  A few literary and scientific mavericks with whom I’m madly in love: Dante, Goethe, Rimbaud, Mishima, Shelly, Charles Maturin, Paracelsus, Tesla and Bohm.  

My favorite motto, which also applies to my novel-in-progress is ’...

After reading the book, "Sleeping with Extraterrestials," it occurred to me that very few people these days would be able to comprehend, let alone read, the author's brilliant analysis of our purposely dumbed-down culture. A culture in which bubbleheads like Paris Hilton are reportedly paid a million dollars to "lecture" at esteemed universities like Harvard. Dumb and getting dumber seems to be a badge of honor these days. Ask me, it's why Bush got elected: everyone knows what a good ole boy ...

Others, ages dead, have wooed other men with my eyes . . . The hands of the dead are in my bosum; they move me, they pluck me, they guide me . . . We are drawn together as the stars are turned about in space; or as the tides ebb and flow, by things older than ourselves. Ollala, Robert Louis Stevenson CHAPTER ONE Greetings fledgling transmortal. Pardon my sudden intrusion. The scratchy reception. Can you hear me? I come in peace. Please. Do not be afraid. Fear ignites a blazing firestorm insi...

The Abominable Secret of Skookum Creek CHAPTER ONE A MONTROUS BIRTHDAY GIFT When the last passenger from her flight exited the tiny airport, Newt dutifully tried phoning her parents on her cell. No signal. Looking at the pay phones on the opposite wall, she tapped her fingers and took a deep breath. Calling her parents meant Dad would take the next available flight to come fetch her home. On the long way back she’d have to sit through one of his big lectures. Then it would be her mother’s tu...

Flash Fiction / Midnight Love

This was very unique and interesting. I love the line "single cell psyche." You've pinned down this person's MO quite nicely with those three little words. Your prose is fine, the structure is different, kept me off balance . . . I'm hesitate to say you should consider changing it. Get some more opinions before you change anything. Your unique voice is compelling. Let me know when you've got more to read. I enjoyed this.
Poetry / Gentrification
I love your sentiment! Enjoyed this very much. And totally agree: the Midas touch, love of money, is indeed a virus that's consuming us all. All living beings are converted into objects in a narcissitic culture. A society whose "stars" are in fact, glamorous necrosirens. The prose is good; your descriptions are keen, apt. My only suggestion would be to restructure/format the paragraphs in a way more pleasing to the eye and the ear. In other words, I think this would roll off the tongue if you...

Screenplay / Journey's End
Dialogue is crisp, in places a bit repetitive, but repetition works here, I think. The well-worn concept of Charon greeting the recently dead is treated amusingly throughout this piece. I have no complaints, other than, there seems very little plot or character development: I think you need one or the other to make any piece of fiction work. It held my interest, but the end was disappointing in that nothing really happened. I think you're format and technique are fine. Best of luck. And, of c...
