A combination of poetry, original quotes and short stories. A few of the poems form most of the short stories. Everything written in the book comes my experiences in life. "The one for whom you search Is impossible to find For the sense will fail And you will be lost..." - Ghost in the soul's shadows

The stories, sometimes one or two lines, are from attending live model drawing sessions at a local gallery. Never good at visual art, still attempted several times on a tablet. Viewing each model and pose, I saw a character and story.The stories vary in length, mainly due to time of pose. Some were only 1 - 2 minutes, others as long as 10. They also vary in subject / genre. I allowed my imagination to completely take over. Genres range from everyday life, more hardcore erotic, and a lot more.Reality was defined as what we perceive through the 5, physical, senses. Erotic? Up to the individual (beliefs, morals, etc.). Hopefully, this way change your definitions and perspectives in a small way...

A Valley and Beyond was my first, serious, venture into media. It was launched on May 18, 2013 and ended in July 2016. The magazine evolved into Surreal ValeCity. This is a "Best Of" book with articles and photos. The articles are all from the Lehigh Valley, PA area. Some photos are from Philadelphia, PA.I wrote and designed the entire book, front to back cover. The formatting may appear scattered at times. It is very intentional for a few reasons. At points: save space, preserve the original format of the article, plus one more...This book gives you a small sample of the Lehigh Valley. Like my other books and media: My life, heart and spirit are in every word and moment.
