The Frog's Promise
I had an idea for a new twist on a cliched fable... see what you think. Consider it an updated Grimm's Fairy Tale.

Okeefenokee Moon

I'm working on a sci-fi story cycle revolving around the idea of first contact. I get ticked off by the shallowness of most aliens in science fiction and this is my attempt to write a story with aliens who aren't either bug-eyed monsters or extensions of some human aspect. These aliens ought to be alien.

Stories

That's what these are. Stories. Not for kids or grown-ups, but for everyone. North America helped me write them.

Horror and Grue

The ones on the top of the list are the most recent editions and, hence, the most polished in style. I should re-write the ones at the bottom of the list, but I just don't have the time to do everything...

Humor
Essays

I begin with a set of commentaries on Machiavelli's classic tome, The Prince. Enjoy, especially if it's required reading.

Visual Art

Some of these images are completely original, others are foobled. When you see a foobled image, you'll know. These are best viewed at high color or true color, with a screen setting of 1024x768, although 800x600 should be kind of OK. Don't worry about the number of images in a series, as each page after the first will pre-load the next image in the sequence for faster presentation.

Series Thirteen: China. All my pictures are up... well, the best 1000, really. I finally decided to just go with a photo show of all the things I had happen in China last year since I don't know if I'll have the time to finish writing about them. Day 1 is my trip up, not a lot there except for the great shot of the wall outside my window. Days 2-5 are Beijing, Days 6-the first half of 8 are Nanjing, and the rest are Shanghai - except Day 12 which includes the trip home. My favorite set is 10a, a great round of night shots in Shanghai. They're really bright and fun at the end of the shoot.

For most of these, Day 4 and afterward, I used a Canon A530 I purchased in China because I lost my camera just after all the Day 3 pics. Day 3a shots were taken by a friend in China, which is why I'm in all but one of them.

If you need stories to go with the pictures, feel free to email me and I'll say a few syllables about them. Hope you enjoy these! here they are...

Series Twelve: Rock and Roll. Right now, I've got five pictures of some of my guitar heroes. I hope to do more in the days to come, but in case I don't, here they are...

Family (and friends)

Here are some older ones... newer ones are in the blog thingy at the front of the website.

2003-2005 photo section. It's about time I actually posted the pictures I keep taking. It's not all that hard, now that I'm using JAlbum. What a nifty utility, that...

School Pictures from 2002-2005If you're a student or interested alum from Berkner High School in those years, you'll want to see these. If not, well, you won't.

The whole family pitched in on making these pages. Some are about our travels. Some are family pictures. Some are just things we put together. It's all good, so here we go:
