Language inhibits the way we describe our existence. I suppose there will always be something in our silent reflections that will never make it to the page. But, the poet tries. My poems have a point of view and will likely provoke readers into a debate with me. I would not be disappointed with that. I've lived through a lot of reality, at least in a world that considered it all real. With only the transactional details to iron out. The world of commerce has as many moral ambiguities as a war zone. I know this world from the retail floor to the executive suites. As a copywriter I've challenged the reader to dance with me and dream his dreams with me. And buy something. As a technical writer, I've taken the incomprehensible and made plain fare of it for the common reader. I reinvented myself, and for five years I had a practice as a marriage and family counselor. I engaged with the hurt and the indignant, the frightened. Now, I draw from all that to present what I see and what's to be thought about it.

Adam Manning was a great kid, a courageous missionary kid, whose dream was to return to the United States one day and become a great preacher and bring the nation back to Christ. In a very short time, he'd made great headway on his goal, and he'd never once thought about running for office until Asa Mudd, a leading candidate running for the presidency, ask him to join him on the ticket. They were both true Christians. Being vice-president would make a great platform from which to call the nation back to their moral roots. Sounded good, but Mudd's party had lost its way. The forecast for the party was glum, demographics turning against them, the country's values shifting away. How could they win? Well, by doing what they had to do; campaign on a message that would please the center and get that swing vote. On the other hand, they risked losing their conservative Christian supporters doing that, appeasing liberals with all that mealy-mouthed talk. Enter the nationally-revered Reverend Adam Manning, the symbol of all those values the party's legions had long prayed over. With Adam on the ticket, they could still win, couldn't they? Implement their real agenda once they were in office. Maybe. Judas Wept explores the morally ambiguous and dangerous path that the Reverend Adam Manning follows on his way to the brink of a national tragedy.

Harold Bonaparte was a somebody once, until he lost his memory, then he wasn't. Most amnesiacs are panicked at their loss of memory, but not Harold.

His newfound friends on the street always had a story to tell about their past lives. So, great, he thought, they knew who they were-more or less. He didn't know whether to believe them. But then he thought, "So what?"-until one day a mysterious piece of his past came to visit him. Then he got curious about himself. Who was he? What was his story? And would he want to tell it?
