It's true! This afternoon, after a long period in creative limbo taking a backseat to other things in my life, I have finally self-published my novel, Even Stars Die!
You can visit my Smashwords site at www.smashwords.com/books/view/… buy the book in electronic format for the low low price of $6.99! Or, if you'd like a sampler, you can read Chapter 1 in its entirety in my gallery by clicking the thumbnail above!
Even Stars Die is a fictional account of a young American aspiring to be a screenwriter in Vancouver, struggling with computer issues that plague the progress of his next project, the emotions left by a traumatic break-up with his ex, and a series of recurring dreams that may signal an impending existential crisis. With a blossoming new romance at stake, will he overcome the nihilistic feelings that increasingly plague him?

It's been a busy year.
Wow, my last journal post was October of last year. Time for an update, then.
Sorry for being silent so long. As the title of this journal entry says, it's been a very busy year, and a lot has happened since my last post. As I've mentioned here already, my father passed away about two years ago. After it happened, my mother and I both came to the realization that it made no sense for her to continue living in Florida without him (and Hurricane Irma definitely played a big role in her coming to that conclusion). So, as a result, most of the time I've been quiet has been devoted to helping her move from Florida to Washington to be with me, and
Wait, he did ANOTHER one?
Hey everyone! I know you're probably wondering what I've been doing with my life since summer, considering I've been pretty quiet here. Well, there's good reason for that. October in particular has been a crazy chaotic month for me. Part of it is for reasons I will explain in a future journal entry. However, another big part of it is because I've been secretly working on this:
This is my second self-published book, Year of Haiku and Other Collected Works! It's an anthology of poems (and one short story) written between 2005-2017. Admittedly, some of the work in this book might be familiar to you, as several of these poems have appeared in my
Father's Day.
Okay, as horrendous as 2016 was, it's time to replace that recap. It's been up for half of 2017 already, and it sort of sickens me to relive any memories from last year. So... moving on.
You'll have to bear with me, folks. I know it's been six months. Normally, during a period where I've been as unproductive as this, I might jokingly say, "I'm not dead", as I have many times before. This time, though... I don't really feel like joking like that. Not when I've been so affected by a real death so close to me.
See, when I wrote that last journal entry, it was toward the end of the year, and I was forced to amend it because my father passed awa
2016: The Year-Long Nightmare
Also known as "The Leap Year from Hell" and "The Year That God Said 'Fuck It'".
Well, everyone, it's New Year's Eve, and at this point, I think most of us are seriously ready to be done with this year. The strange thing is, there have been bad years before-- but 2016 has somehow been an uncommonly bad year, not only in general current events, but for me personally, and for virtually everyone I know. There's been so much shit dumped on me this year, that I felt it really needed to all be unpacked here, month by month, partly as a catharsis, and partly to just take stock of it all. So, here we go, on a 12-month retrospective journey through th
