  23 Different Jobs (The Book)
  In 2019 I published a book called 23 Different Jobs. It’s a collection of short stories about work, people, life and loss. You can read the opening story, ALIENS, right now if you like. If you’d like to purchase a copy, fill out this form!

  For Each of Us Comes A Time When We Must Be More Than What We Are
  For each of us comes a time when we must be more than what we are. Lloyd Alexander, the Castle of Llyr. Listening to Mr. Follow Follow by Fela Kuti as I write this–you should too. I remember when I first read this line in The Castle of Llyr over 10 years ago. It actually… Read more: For Each of Us Comes A Time When We Must Be More Than What We Are
