Unlike my previous poetry collections, this book will be subdivided into thematic chapters and will work sort of like a musician’s concept album. There is a story here, if you wish to look for it: sometimes literal, sometimes metaphorical, sometimes theoretical, always truthful.

I’m not sure when I’ll be releasing it as of yet, but I’m sure it will be soon.

Until then,

P.S. I’m still hard at work on Teddy, for those who are aware that I have been working on that particular novel since November.

Simon Creed is the protagonist of…

GUESS, PEOPLE, GUESS!

I’m glad I downloaded it this evening. I read it in one sitting, as I did with his latest novella Blockade Billy, and did not regret the $3 I paid for it.  First off, it’s another must-read for those familiar with King’s Dark Tower mythos.  There’s a blatant hint early in the story, but later, when certain low men show their ugly faces, I was floored. I’ve always been fascinated with The Dark Tower, and the premise of an otherworldly Kindle tying into the millions of other levels of the Dark Tower (or simply think of them as alternate realities) was pretty wild.  Imagine getting to read works by Ernest Hemingway or Edgar Allen Poe that had never been published in our world.  Or reading news headlines from radically different worlds.  It’s like the old television show Sliders without the interdimensional travel.

So yeah, check it out, if you can.

In addition, Hangman’s not going so well.  I’m adding Q to the letters not found in the solution and adding a body to the poor stick figure. Get to guessing people!

If you actually solve this, I’ll reveal the project I’m working on. (I’m not deciding this due to inactivity either; that was my intention all along.)
