THE POOL BOYS BEATITUDE – Twitter Short Story
Physicist turned pool boy Jack Joseph led a life of romance, addiction, and entropy, filled with the temptations of drink, drugs, and sex, broken with the miseries of ruined relationships, and balanced on the needle of false hope.
Three-Fingered Jack Davis Review @Jennie Reads
I did enjoy this story. It was definitely out of my normal reading choices and while a lot of bad things happen, it is the world of drugs, it was nice to see some positive for these characters.
The Pool Boy’s Beatitude Review @Big Al’s Books and Pals
When I tell you that that the story spans only a few weeks of Jack’s life, you’ll understand that I spent most of the time inside Jack’s head. And I learned quite a lot about the mind of an addict in the process. Although his lifestyle was not to be admired, it made perfect sense. All in all, an unusual and fascinating read.
The Death of Anyone Review @MelangeBooks
The story is a really good police procedural that takes a look into the forensic side of the investigation too. A really good balance of crime, personal life and the effects of doing the job can have. Not for the faint hearted.
The Black Dress
Felton was a pit boss, worked a copper mining crew in the number six shaft at the Mohawk Mine. The mine bosses liked Felton. His crews produced more good ore then the rest, the men worked like devils for him, some because they loved him, some because they feared him.
The Pool Boy’s Beatitude Review Reading Getaway’s
The Pool Boy’s Beatitude appears to be a deep examination of life, addiction, and a general introspection of how mere existence can become so very complicated.

Interview by @BookGoodies
I write fiction because I can tell my story exactly the way I want it told, not as it actually happened. I like endings that resolve the conflict, nothing just hanging out there.
One Way to Write a Novel. Guest Post @ChocolatePages
I’m pretty straight forward as a person and a writer. I’m a former 911 operator, and in 911 you don’t have the luxury of a lot of pondering, you need to get to the essence of a problem in a hurry.
The Gray Wolf – Guest Post @Jemsbooks
The relationship between wolves and human beings is very ancient. We shared similar survival techniques; living in organized societies for protection and hunting in packs.

I believe in a Universal Consciousness, a Super-Consciousness that unites all thoughts within a single framework of understanding that goes beyond mere language or writing.
Three-Fingered Jack Davis – Book review @ChocolatePages
Three-Fingered Jack Davis was both character and plot driven to give maximum impact. There is action right the way through the book, and we see all the characters develop as we read too.
The Pool Boy’s Beatitude Book Review @ChocolatePages
Will Jack go to prison? Who will he end up with, or will he end up alone? You will need to read to find out.
