The Mourner's Guide to the Death of Charlie Edison

In November 2008 I wrote my first novel as part of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). In short the story is about a young man who in trying to come to grips with human mortality begins to plan for his final farewell. While preparing for death he begins to realize that he has never really lived and begins to do so with the help of family and friends.

Unfortunately there is still a lot of editing and rewriting to be done before I'm ready to let anyone read it, but I hope the day will come.

 

Newsletters

Since 1999 I have self-published newsletter and zines for friends, family, and anyone else that would listen. Published under different names, these works have included short stories, reviews, and satirical musings. As more of my work turns away from paper and towards the digital age, watch this space for an archive of past works.
