Thoughts and Musings is a collection of poetry focusing on thoughts generated at the moment about certain aspects of human existence and the sometimes fleeting nature of these thoughts. Why was this an important book for you to write?

From the time I was a teenager, I utilized poetry in particular and writing in general to explore my thoughts and emotions. Since that time I had accumulated a fair number of poems that spanned a variety of life experiences and emotional circumstances. When I looked back on those creations, I felt it was important to share those thoughts and let them gain a life of their own with readers.

What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this anthology?

I wanted the reader to be inspired to explore their thoughts, emotions, and views on life, the world, and their own humanity.

What is one thing you hope readers take away from your collection of poetry?

I recall taking classes throughout my education that endeavored to teach us what art “really was.” I hope the reader explores the concepts I’ve brought up and realizes that ultimately, art is what brings clarity, appreciation, or thoughtfulness to each of us. There is no absolute standard or border on what we each appreciate or find important.

What is the next book that you are working on, and when will it be available?

I am presently working on my first novel. Light of Truth is a thriller that will be the first in a series. The story follows former Navy SEAL and FBI agent Phillip Larock as he embarks on a journey to fight evil that ultimately results in questioning everything he thought he knew. The book will be available for readers in 2024. A quick teaser and progress information is available on my website.
