Pants in the Tree
Prose Poetry
An aging genius finds his pants mysteriously migrating to tree branches. Is it the universe playing tricks, his deceased wife trying to communicate, or simply the natural order asserting itself? Through 31 interconnected prose poems, we follow our pantless philosopher as he polishes stones, hosts Native American spirits around invisible campfires, and slowly transforms into something beyond human understanding.
This experimental work weaves together Zen koans, domestic absurdism, and profound grief into a meditation on presence, absence, and the thin boundaries between wisdom and madness. Each piece builds on the last, creating a rhythm that pulls readers into a world where the extraordinary hides in plain sight.
“Like Beckett met Basho in a backyard and decided to do laundry.”

Revolt in Steel Meadow
Co-written with David Roe as Harlan Hunt ⢠Power of the All-Mind Saga, Book 1
The city of Apollonia gleams with the promise of unlimited energy. Euphonium powers everythingāfrom the smallest household device to the vast machines that keep their perfect society running. When ex-soldier turned Cold Synthesis engineer John Harwood survives an accident that kills two colleagues, he can’t shake the feeling that something is deeply wrong with their utopian energy source.
Teaming up with determined reporter Eve Caldwell, John discovers the horrifying truth: euphonium isn’t mined or generatedāit’s harvested from human consciousness. Every watt of power that lights their city comes from minds trapped in suffering.
With the city’s powerful elite closing in, John faces an impossible choice: accept the comfortable lie and return to his life, or expose a truth that will destroy everything Apollonia has builtāand possibly himself in the process.
