Meditations on Death
Oh, sure, I said I might possibly write a book of poems but I didn't think I'd actually do it. Until I did. This is actually two small books in one. The first one contains 100 poems from the perspective of an old guy (that would be me) reflecting on memories, philosophy, and why the hell we have to live in this idiotic political timeline. The second, What an Interesting Universe, is much shorter and contains a number of poems from way back when. I'm not sure when I'll release this one but I'll know you'll enjoy it more if you have a more progressive outlook on life.
House of Roughly a Million Demons
You won't find this one on any bookshelf--it's a two-act stage play I wrote in the spring of 2026. Here's a little synopsis:
In this fast-paced comedy, Steve Hooker and his ad agency buddies intend to spend their Saturday working on a horror movie script for their filmmaker friend, but the usual things get in the way: a heartless corporate exec, the dumbest guy in town, a woman who recites
poetry about ghosts, an old man who chains himself to the bathroom sink, and even the Channel 19 Action News Team. With the script deadline looming just hours in the future, can our intrepid group of friends overcome these obstacles to score a $75,000 payday?
If someone decides to produce this, I'll make sure you know about it.
