New Djinn Funnel Project

Started work last week on a new album with my old music partner, Cullen Page. It's beginning to sound amazing, I can't wait to share more later this year. There will be videos to accompany the music.

Finished a draft of my newest speculative fiction novel

I completed a beta draft of my newest novel, and it stands at a little over 92,000 words at the moment. Fresh off the press (minus a few days) are two copies of the draft for editing. The beginning of a series potentially.

Poem #3 from my book

A poem from my recent poetry collection.

Butterfly Visions

Echo from the ocean side,

wakes up in rewind

to the twilight's hazy fog, dreams

of a cocoon hatching divined.

A butterfly flutters its wings,

like how a grasshopper

rubs its legs and sings,

among the berries of a juniper.

Egg becomes larva near juniper needles,

from caterpillar to instar chamber.

Enter REM sleep of chrysalis,

dreams of life as a human shaman.

A woman recalls her childhood,

living a life alone.

Later in life seeking solitude,

until nature retrieves her mind on loan.

A woman dies and dreams of chrysalis,

returns to her place of birth,

opens wings out of instar into skies

of Earth.

Flying through marigold fields,

smelling flower pheromones.

A butterfly flutters

looks at wavelength overtones,

each eye thousands of transmitters.

One day while pollinating,

a butterfly lays eggs near

coneflower leaves germinating

to begin again

a vibrating mandala.
