\n    Living the daydream in Port Townsend, Washington, where I’ve been practicing poetry without a license since allowing my license to practice law to expire, with a sigh of relief that rattled tree branches and frightened squirrels for miles. Presently encamped at the Entrance To The Mystery, waiting, impatiently, for Someone to come out and leave The Door open, so I can sneak in and steal a few Words.<\/p>\n

* * * * *<\/p>\n

My three Books of Poems:
\nwhat would Jeebus do?
\njesus likes his coffee strong
\na walk on the wild side<\/em><\/p>\n

   Below are a couple of Novels I’ve written<\/strong>, and a link to some Short Stories<\/strong> I wrote long ago. Confession:<\/em> These things were created just for the fun of it, without expecting to publish them. You’ve been warned.<\/em> <\/p>\n

   Finally, My Newest Project<\/strong>: Twenty-some years ago I wrote, then self-published, a goofy novel I hoped might reflect my reverence for the transcendent seriocomic novels of Tom Robbins, (R.I.P.), my Literary Higher Power. I called it God Has a Comb-Over and Other Little Known Facts About The Deity<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

   17 years after publication (2009), I have tried, helplessly, to remove the novel from Amazon. It’s officially “Out of Print,” but used copies appear now and then. (I just purchased what I hope is the last of these.)
\n    Today, the day after All Fools’ Day, 2026, I began re-writing that novel, with the hope of re-publishing it by the end of 2026. You can read a bit more about it, and see how it’s going, => HERE<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
