The Carousel Sighed
The carousel sighed
Gears rotated in turn, screaming like hawks
Stretching out from the giant center poll, like a ribcage, the sweeps turned
The galloping cranks, which rose and fell,
Pulled brass rods,
That impaled the colorful animals, rising and falling in perfect rhythm,
Like a youthful heart beat
Rotating the old wobbling platform,
Where pairs of horses, pigs, dogs, and even sea monsters jumped and pranced,
In their tireless, obedient circle,
Endlessly,
They don’t blink, they don’t smi...

Create
That’s my word 2017. I want to do more of that. Not sure how that will manifest just yet, but that is my goal. My resolution!
Writing for sure. I have a half finished novel sitting there gathering cyber-dust. Time to get back to it.

My newest release: The Carousel in the Sky
I am excited to announce that my third novel, The Carousel in the Sky, is out! I am pretty excited about this one. The dark fantasy novel is based on a dream that had a couple years back. In the dream, I was in a forest staring up at a mansion that had a carousel revolving around its sharply pitched roof, like a crown.
The novel is a grand adventure, a terrifying journey into a secret world ruled by evil men… in the midst of which we find Alex just trying to find his lost friend. Not a simple...
