An American Author
I write about outsiders, misfits, and those who have never really fit in.
Fiction
1200 Miles from Los Angeles
When his car breaks down on his way to Los Angeles, Sanford takes a job at a small-town diner along the interstate to earn the money he needs to keep going west. Here, he learns that being Jewish is something different.
Ava in Lost Pines
A plane crashes in a remote forest. Ava, a young girl, and Charlie, an autistic boy, are the only survivors. When Charlie runs off, Ava must find him, protect him, and determine who to trust.
Into the Fracking Fields
Hundreds of square miles deemed uninhabitable. Alice has heard the rumors of the people who stayed, their proximity to Nuclear One, their cancerous lumps. Her friend Carmen is driven to see the fracking pad where his father was killed – and Michael, unfortunately, is the only one that can get them there.
Red as Apple
It has been years since Keenan had been to the farm. He had vowed to move on, to move up, but this has brought him back. To his introverted older brother and confident sister. After this, their lives will never be the same.
Poetry
bleach
Loud, gritty poems that linger in your mind. Take your time, invite them in, and let the words settle in the dark recesses.
Out Pondered the Hare
A collection of poems written in a Lorazepam fog. A whiskey-infused detour and lysergic-stamped synapses. All in the hopes that some of this makes sense to those who were not there in the Detroit suburbs, way back then, in the 1990s.
ENDOTRIZZI
ENDOTRIZZI is a gut-punch collection of poetry. Brutality, violence, and sex are intertwined with quiet reflections of life and death. These poems are unfiltered, triggering, and written with empty promises.
