About Me

Musician with a day job. Published author of experimental fiction , whose work is highly regarded by the five or six people in the world who care about experimental fiction. Also publish semi-conventional travel writing and photography , for which I once received a colorful t-shirt. Was recently offered my first photography show. It was a complete surprise and my head's still spinnin'.

I'm thinking that the Web could tie these otherwise disparate activities together in some reasonable way. I'd like that, it might make them appear more sensible. Please check-out my site for the latest:

    abstract photography emphasizing color and texture experimental Postmodernist fiction disguised as a role-playing game more experimental Postmodernist fiction disguised as a blog still yet more experimental Postmodernist fiction not really disguised as anything music : songwriting and recording travel photography and travel writing

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Misfits, reds, troublemakers, musicians, photographers, surfers, hippies, artists, actors, writers, foreigners, outcasts, peace activists, travelers, readers, rebels, doers-not-talkers.

If you can teach me the Maohi (Tahitian) language, I would like to meet you right now.

Smoke.

Smoke. Black, gray, white. The acrid smell of burning chemicals. Deep breath. Eyes water, nose waters, mouth waters. I am only a dream. Forget me.
