My writing confronts the junction of critical reasoning and the Schwarzchild's radius of what's beyond the purview of the reality we know and, presumably, love: quantum theory is still trying to catch up to me.  I transform the wild experiences of my life, the raucous yet cerebral rollercoaster among dimensions, into words that sing of the human core embracing the mundane and the infinite.  I like to explore good and evil, I like to laugh with my readers and wipe their tears when they weep.  And above all, I never sing my songs the same way twice.  Macmillan had my book, The Jade Unicorn, as their lead fiction in '79, garnering lots of interest from fanciers of the occult and the mystical.  Then I was expelled from my digs in Manhattan by the Invisible Finger of the great god, Quantum Fluctuation, to Zoar and all that lives at the end of the world, beyond which be monsters... I embraced the world of service to folks with severe disabilities: autism, mental retardation, social-emotional imbalance - all of whom were the gurus I needed and unwittingly sought.  Gris-Gris is one of the works written during those magickal years, now emerging fully-formed as a book through Melange Publishing.  Expect my poetry, Mitchell's Ghost and The Emerald Canticle of Hermes, to follow.  Also in the wings are Cell Fantastick (a stream of subconcious lyric meditation involving the revolution slouching now to be born in a near-future America); Ghosts & Bones (short stories showcasing the mirror-entity, Moonstone); and The North Point (a play evoking Biblical transmutation and Solomon's search for closure by visiting the THREE Temples precipitated by his FIRST effort, consummating both his despair and, paradoxically, the descent of Messiach).  Whew...!  Enough already.  I'll keep my readers posted as new works emerge. Now, I'm off to ride my motorcycle across the rainbow bridge...
