Below are a number of things that I have written, some fiction, some otherwise. I want to be clear about something up front: SOMETIMES, I WORK BLUE. If you are sensitive to such things, you might want to skip In Praise of Phonetics (Chapters 1, 4, and 8 specifically) and Harkenbak the Four. All respect to Justice Stewart, but I think this work is tastefully and artfully racy. Just wanted to put that up there before you nice people got to reading.

Also - as of April 2009, I have one printed piece of writing available. Again, a little blue. It was made possibly by the fine folks at One Page Productions, and it's called Doo doo bustin'. It's about poop, ideas, and how the two inter-relate. Limited printing run, so let me know if you're interested in a hard copy.
