As deafness, illness, and demonic forces close in around him, Ludwig van Beethoven must summon his faith and genius to complete the Missa Solemnis—a sacred masterpiece he believes could bring divine light into a darkening world.
I write anything from fiction (see _Creamy Nougat_) through relationship advice (see GetOnTheCouch.com, the book) to rhetorical theory and spirituality.
Background
Information
I am motivated by rhetoric and how we use language to persuade. I am also motivated by Buddhist thought, particularly how it pertains to rhetoric. It sounds boring, but it isn't.
My fiction revolves around how people construct their own identities (ultimately through language) and how the reconstruction of identity--for one's benefit--is a skill worth acquiring.
