  • Good start to the end of the year

    By no means is this the key to retirement, nor is it a record high for me, but it is a great way to roll this year down towards its end. I will take it. Thank you to everybody who has purchased a book this month or in the past. You all rock! I…

  • If we want not, we shall never get. If we desire more, we will never be worthy enough. If we push the limits, we will rot in a cage. If we allow them to walk over us, we will be nothing more than a stain on the concrete. But somewhere between each extreme there…

  • Chaotic Rhythm of Heartbeat

    We suffer in the solitude like we are soldiers. We are seated silently surrounded by some sinister players. We wish we were even a fraction as confident as we portray with our poker face wisdom. We struggle through the motions like monsters. We suffer in the silence of selfless prayers unanswered by a selfish…

  • The Slow Progression

    There are too many hours running in slow motion we suddenly notice when shit doesn’t go smoothly . Although, we will in the same breath complain that there isn’t enough time in a day to get done what we needed. We are steadily rolling a boulder up a mountainside or battling it escaping our…

  • The fates of circumstance

    I fall behind. I have fell behind trying to balance life with recovery. I have stumbled juggling responsibilities with dreams, often times dropping the ball on both. I have set my expectations higher than attainable, but I have no regrets. I have lived hard, worked hard, loved hard, my successes have been as epic…

  • In the lack of clarity

    I breathe each breath with determination. I push a little harder than necessary to achieve. I am aware that at any moment this will all be taken away. It gets more difficult with each passing day. There was a time when these challenges wouldn’t have phased me. Was then I roaming in Neverland playing…

  • After a little turbulence, we have takeoff

    Well, the release date of January 13th didn’t quite come and go as planned. Amazing how life can find these last minute ways to shit on my plans. The ebook was released a day or two later. It is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Curios. The paperback and hardcover editions are going…

  • Getting ever so near

    Less than two weeks until our release date of January 13, 2025 for the second edition of Born Hopeless with All the Answers…Songs for a Dying Generation. Second edition is very much an understatement to what this release truly is, it’s a total revamp plus over a hundred more pages. As usual, I am…

  • One year into freedom

    It’s been one year since I stripped out of those d.o.c. blues and put on street clothes again. One year immersed in the ever-advancing technologies and sat in front of the Internet or a television with sound. In this year I have had to begin my life over from the scraps of what could…

  • Engage with the Latest Content: Join and Support on Social Media

    Slowly the newer material is getting into circulation. I’ve been making content daily, some of it old, some of it new, some of it as it has been written. It seems to be grabbing some new followers to say the very least. To those individuals, I welcome you and thank you in the same…

  • Just a little something new

    Sneak peek at a new poem.

  • Blog Update: Re-releases, Audiobooks, and Event Tours

    This is my first blog entry since my release from the Indiana Department of Corrections last August, I apologize for the hiatus. I spent my days reading too much and writing as much as possible. I hope to post samples and teases of some of my new content to everyone soon. Currently, to be…

  • Sorry for the absence

    As evidenced, my presence from my blog, social media sites and the writing world has been in a hiatus state. I apologize for that. I have battled addiction issues my whole life, my last relapse brought to life these last five poetry collections but it also brought to surface that severity of my addiction…

  • Wretched Shortcomings of this Cunt Called Life

    I post today from my hideout while I try to evade the authorities long enough to produce enough money for a new lawyer and to complete a few of my many projects in each of my ventures. Today, however, I do have better-vibed news than that tragic mess of bullshit. Some new news for…

  • Disabilitized and the tales of the destabilization of deterred deflections, otherwise called internet porn in crayon

    Blind faith and the absence of notion doesn’t infer we walk without direction, but rather we are without negative connotation by being fully open to those things out of our control. We have opted to be the solution instead of demanding our inclusion where we were not intended to become. We stand in the…

  • The Jingle Jangle of the Smelly Guy on the Corner Begging for Your Spare Change

    Your life and decision making abilities become limited while living on trial. Under a constant million eyes analyzing, making notes, keeping track of every itch and scratch a person has, etc. No wonder some people in the system are so damn angry and rude. If we as a society treat people this way our…

  • A Little Taste of a Work in Progress

    I had noticed I had lots of pictures but few words for the promotion efforts of the last few books… Well today, I will present both, but the content is not from any of the four books out, it just happened to be the piece in front of me when I realized I need…

  • Behind the Fuckery, Beneath the Words, Inside the Conspiracy Theories

    What resides inside the mind of a writer initially isn’t what usually the polished pretty product that the reader’s eyes get to experience. Something is always sacrificed in order for the process of creation to manifest full circle. That lost rawness is usually best left in the dust that gets wiped up by the…
