For this first Writing Life post, I thought it might be nice to talk about my projects. With the whole pandemic thing going on I haven’t been writing much. It’s hard to focus on creative creation. The projects below are all in various stages of completion. Some just need to find a home. Most I still need to finish.

Published!
I’m not going to list all of my individually published poems here, but these are the bigger projects I was a part of.
Chiaroscuro – My debut poetry book about the contrast and balance between light and dark. It’s a journey through a crumbling world that leaves a gritty taste. It shines light on the edge of awareness where dark magic wars with childish innocence.
Free on Kindle Unlimited. May be self-publishing a print version in the future.
