A few things I've written:



My book

A Democracy of Ghosts - is the title of my novel from Wordcraft of Oregon. It's set in 1922 in the most radical community in America, and it's got it all—torture, murder, love, infidelity, desire, bootlegging, a tripped-out gunman, a whiff of necrophilia, and a communal narrator of transmigrating souls. Check it out!Forthcoming 2009
