About Me

My interest is in all things creative. My time is spent writing, or working on a piece of art, or composing a musical composition. I like to explore ideas and themes in one genre and then explore them in another. Listen to some of my experiments in sound by visiting my other site SOUND-SQUARED . . . . . . Here is a direct link to my Novel: Limping To An Intellectual Impasse
