Books
I’ve published two novels over the years.
Currently I’m working on a creative memoir about my journey as a multi-interested creator struggling with a time-consuming addiction to idealism, exploring the natural world, and a perilous relationship with my own inner critic.
It’s about how I overcame these struggles and created a life that HAD TIME for everything I was interested in and want to pursue.
YES, it’s a lot and I’ll notify everyone as it gets close to done.
If any of my novels linked below interest you, I greatly appreciate you picking them up and giving them a read!
Honest reviews on the amazon book page (linked below) are always welcome too.
The Set Sun Blood at Dusk
Becoming increasingly disillusioned with city life, Collin Forsett and his friends embark on a backcountry snowboarding trip where they rekindle a friendship with an outcast ski-god and self-declared "shaman," Connor, whose dubious grasp on reality threatens them all. Then again, considering those alarming visions Collin's been experiencing, Connor might be on to something.
An insider's peek into the grand bacchanal that is a Colorado ski town at the height of the season, The Set Sun Blood at Dusk, is both an earth-bound travelogue and a mystically probing novel about friendship and the nature of human grace.
Poet for Hire
The Norse Men we know as Vikings were known for their ferocity and aggression, yet at the core of the warrior is a longing for love. After the Viking war generations ceased to raid, their ancestors carried forth that longing and came to settle the new world. Some laid down the ax and took up ink and quill.
Disgruntled with the expectations placed upon him for being named after the Norse God of Poetry, Bragi Kennings, son of a fisherman from Duluth, Minnesota, travels the West with his friend Rig Vindler seeking inspiration for his poems. After a stroke of hard times, the two friends take refuge deep within the Olympic Mountains where Bragi dwells upon the memory of a long-departed lover, Iðunn, an up and coming musician named after the Norse Goddess of Eternal Youth.
On a dare from an outcast witch of the deep woods, Bragi, Vindler, and their companion chicken, Kyuklingur, make a pilgrimage to Seattle where Bragi is propelled into a love quadrangle that forces him to confront a transformative reconciliation with his past.
When Iðunn reappears, Bragi must assimilate a reality that doesn't match the fantasy he has weaved in his poetry, and redefine himself as a poet, lover, and man. Poet for Hire examines the friction of becoming one’s truest self with the pursuit of Art, Love, and Dreams.
