Published Works

I am an eclectic writer, just as I am an eclectic reader. To date I have published 5 volumes of poetry (two of which include  some flash fiction) and 3 historical (military history) articles. I have in process a mystery novel, a steam punk adventure, a high fantasy novel, a collection of short stories, more poetry, and more military history.

Military History/Nonfiction

Poetry

Works in Progress

Aut-umm

The sun slants across the courtyard
A handful of leaves scurry across
Chasing the sunbeams into the distance
Tall sycamores cover the edges
In soft shade, green leaves rustling
Quietly in the stiffening westerly
Tiny figures hurry a bit faster

Than in the languid summer heat
On sidewalks crossing the yard
Cloud obscures for a moment
Bringing memory of a whiter scene
Returning light lacks the warmth
So quickly forgotten; another leaf
Falls bringing yet another memory 

The poem above is simply one for the season now outside my window. The cooler wind pushing rising mounds of dry leaves. In my poetry you will see a variety of styles; I like to play with the form, the meter, the theme. You will find themes of nature, history, politics, sports, emotion, and many others. You will find free verse, rhymed verse, haiku, and even a sonnet. 
Likewise the short stories (intermixed in  Scenes) show a variety of topics and styles. There are a couple whimsical pieces of parenting and childhood, a more serious piece inspired by the news, a science fiction, a "thriller", and even a "ghost story". Take your time, browse about and enjoy!
