The Raven
Has Landed.

Well, here we are.

Not long ago, Iron, Leather & Ravens — Volume I was just a collection of words I'd put together. Now it's an actual book, sitting on shelves and finding its way into people's hands.

That's still a little hard to believe.

My writing comes from working life, personal experiences, dark humor, and the strange things that catch my attention. Sometimes those things happen to have black feathers and a terrible attitude.

I'm also writing children's books in the Naughty Children series, where mischief seems to be a requirement.

I've got my first bookstore signing coming up on November 15, and there's plenty more writing ahead.

To everyone who's picked up a book, read something I've written, or simply offered a little encouragement—thank you.

The raven's only getting started.

STORIES STILL TO COME

While the next entry takes shape, explore the poetry and children's books that started it all.
