Bio
In my upcoming short novel, The Lights of Darkness, I defy the odds against the confinements of labels and categories. My work in poetry and short stories derives from actual personal life experiences, LGBTQ+ issues, sci-fi and myths.

Pursuit of Contentment
I went to Joshua National Park to put shit into perspective. I have never been genuinely happy unless I'm far away from the city. Staring out into the 110 degree desert landscape with Joshua Trees being the only source of green reminded me of the beautiful things Mother Earth was capable of-beauty even in the harshest environment. Like I, those ancient and mighty Joshua Trees grew in harshness, which is why I loved them from the very moment I laid eyes on them.

Sandstorm
Military Working Dog Sandstorm, aka Stormy, was the very first dog I trained from puppyhood when I was a Master at Arms in the Navy. He was a beautiful black-tipped fawn-colored Belgian Malinois. His eyes always had a glistening honey brown look to them as if they were holding a secret in their depths. He was always willing to put in work, and after two years of intense training, consistency, patience, and headache, he passed the test necessary to clear him in being an official MWD. What he excelled in most was detecting IEDs, (improvised explosive devices). I feared that upon graduation, we would be stationed in the blistering and unforgivable desert that most deemed ‘hell on Earth.’ No sooner had I prayed, that my commanding officer walked in to tell me the news.
