About this author

Born. Grew up (sort of). Wrote, drank, and played music. Thought it was a novel idea to publish a novel. But novelty doesn't make you rich. So, still, I write.

Feel free to twit me on twitter or face me on facebook.

In contrast to Paul Harding's really shitty pic on Goodreads, Tinkers is a very polished and beautiful book to read. Although as I read it, I did come to question the need for, at times, over-flowery language. Especially when Tinkers delves into the...more

Cormac McCarthy
“Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patters that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.”
Cormac McCarthy

My god, I just noticed your comment. That just shows you how inept I am at this whole social thing (I'm just as awkward in real life)

I'm glad you're intrigued by my book. I hope that it doesn't disappoint.

Thank you for accepting my friend request, and I will try to be a better friend in the future.


Jennifer Chase Thank you for the friendship add! Your book sounds intriguing. I've added it to my Kindle reading list.
