DREAM is Returning!
My novel, DREAM: A Surreal and Psychedelic Gay Romance Fantasy Novel has been reborn as DREAM: A Modern Queer Fairy Tale!
It is returning to online book retailers by the end of this year, with not only a new title, but a new cover, a new prologue, a new epilogue, and countless new scenes in between! It is undoubtedly the definitive version of DREAM!
Also, a spoken word poetry companion album featuring poems inspired by the story, lore, and characters will release alongside it.
AND a coloring book, featuring all the art I've made for it over the last ten years!
I'm excited, and I hope you are, too! Stay tuned.
Music and Poetry
Writer's Block is my debut poetry album. It is written mostly from recycled poems from my youth, either copied completely, or the themes being reworked, or some lines being altered, added, or taken away entirely - hence the name "writer's block".
It features robotic voices instead of my own. The entire album is meant to sound somewhat artificial in a way; eerie and otherworldly - almost like an audio uncanny valley. Future spoken word albums will include my voice. All instrumentals are made by me.
My Sanctuary is a collection of relaxing tunes from over 15 years of experimenting with music. Some are from when I first started writing in my early 20s as a sort of "soundtrack" for my stories. Others were something i just made to play whilst writing. And the more recent ones (with the additional title "(Sanctuary Version)") were crafted to be background music for my current spoken word projects. All of them are dear to my heart, however. And I hope that each of them can fill you with a profound sense of serenity.
Cute Merch!
Prismatic Dreams is selling my merch!
On their website, you'll be able to find t-shirts, journals, and cups with these designs on them! Currently, they all feature characters from DREAM!
YouTube
I have a ton of content on my YouTube channel, from reading, to writing, to poetry, music, and gaming! I try to get 1-3 videos out a week. Because my current writing theme is fairy tales, I'm reading those, talking about my favorite ones, dissecting their themes and tropes, and playing games that have to do with them - like Kingdom Hearts and The Legend of Zelda! My poetry is also currently themed after fantasy and fairy tales, and I'm remaking DREAM: A Modern Queer Fairy Tale, my debut novel! Please consider subscribing!
Photography
I have rekindled my high school romance with digital photography. Here are a few of my favorite pieces. You can see full sets over on my Patreon.
