Writer of Things<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Okay, “Writer of Things,” is an admittedly dumb tagline. But also, accurate\u2014I’ve written ad copy, chapters for Frommer’s Travel Guides, features for trade publications, technical writing, web content, etcetera. But bubbling away in the background has always been this heart thing, this short stories and poems and ramblings thing, which has lately precipitated out into a couple of literary-ish, upmarket-ish, speculative fiction novels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Band of Goats<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“<\/em>Band of Goats,” <\/strong>is about a roadie in the post-apocalypse working for the world’s last amplified band. They’re on a mission to find an El Dorado called Paradise City, where all their musician’s dreams come true\u2014if only they could find the place. Until they do, they’ll stay on the road dodging cannibals, groupies and hostile audiences to bring music love and ecstasy to the heart of a savage world. At a reasonable cover, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Band of Goats Teasers<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I started making some teasers for Band of Goats, a little eye candy, a hint of what I see in my mind’s eye when I imagine the book. Other teasers are available on my posts page<\/a>. I hope you’ll check them out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
