NOVELS
A sunset wedding in Kona. An ugly secret discovered on an iPhone. Experimental philosophical marriage counseling. Time travel. Diver Neurons and Angel Neurons separated by Sea and Sky. Banshee and the Sperm Whale takes the reader on a journey into the unconscious mind of Martin, a biracial chef from Denver who suffers from a particular kind of overabundance. Along the way, a modern allegory unfolds, and everyday notions about self-knowledge, the nature of good and evil, and the possibility of finding meaning and spiritual significance in the face of inexorable uncertainty are turned inside out.
A Novel
Facticity Blues is a travelogue. And a utopian island novel. The sort of book where readers are whisked into a strange new world turned upside down. Sure, there’s psychedelics involved. And uncouth games of Scrabble. Not to mention political strife, religious wisecracking, postmodern innuendo, feminist whirly-birding, and most definitely a man named Jonk-Q Mosileeleelee. But beneath all the oddball irreverence, Facticity Blues is a simple story about two curious souls trying to find their way.
