I’m a writer from upstate New York with a second hometown of San Antonio, TX. I write poetry and novels—tales of horror, crime, mystery, small town noir, strange occurrences, and more, always looking for that perfect cocktail of Steinbeck, Stephen King, Bradbury, Alan Furst, and Willy Vlautin, and I’m represented by Falkin Literary.
I also review independent bookstores at my blog, The Bookshop Hunter. I manage a literary journal called Hobo Camp Review, and occasionally publish books under the Alpine Ghost Press imprint. For more info, check out:

My Latest Book: Talavera Sunsets
More than a road trip, it became a pilgrimage and last goodbye. The poems in Talavera Sunsets serve as mile markers along dusty highways in west Texas, archiving James Duncan’s final teenage road trip with his father and sister in the 1990s before impending adulthood swept them all in different directions.
From motels in Del Rio and Alpine to old cavalry forts and the McDonald Observatory north of Big Bend, these poems explore the people, places, and magical landscapes of a region as old as time, yet always in flux with humanity’s never-ending migrations. The three of them never returned, and part of them never left.
