Tuesday, September 16, 2014. FICTION: Panic in Detroit (Excerpt). Pierre knows the Lord means for him to walk among men again.

Needs water to make himself presentable. When Pierre returns the...

Thursday, May 8, 2014. There’s a lot of talk about 'frith' in our communities. Well, frith is built on the blood and bone, the guts and screams and tears of your warriors.

The Heaven of Animals. Here they are. The soft eyes open. If they have lived in a wood. It is a wood. If they have lived on plains. It is grass rolling. The soft eyes open.
