About this author

Raised in Central Texas, David Mark Brown learned to ride horses at a young age. Then learned to hate them after a disastrous attempt to impress a girlfriend. He was five.

Turning instead to a life of poetry and prose he eventually migrated north to the University of Montana (the Berkeley of the Rockies) and became the Redneck Granola.

oblivionskystationThe past couple of months have been good for sci-fi movie goers. I actually managed to get away for Iron Man III (sort of sci-fi), Star Trek into Darkness and Oblivion. Here is why I like Oblivion better than the other two.


It felt like a science fiction movie. It was a science fiction movie. I like science fiction movies.


I suppose I should elaborate. Oblivion p...

Blood Vines (Literature & Fiction)
6 chapters   —   updated 08 sept. 15:52
Description: Pastor Joseph King has suffered from insomnia since returning from the Korean War. His early morning routine of push-ups and smoking a Lucky Strike may not sit well with his new Southern Baptist congregation who expects the status quo, but King is more interested in hearing the mysterious voice of God whom he believes is calling him to do the unthinkable. Blood Vines, both Southern gothic and darkly inspirational, explores an East Texas culture thick with racism and religion where one family becomes the crossroads of both angels and demons.
Falling Over (Poetry)
1 chapters   —   updated 27 août 17:05
Description: Transition can be a time of discovery or a time of decay

No worries, I think others felt the same. Time is hard to allocate wisely. I have tried to use it well. (I've definitely stayed busy.)
