My new novel, 2492: Attack Of The Ancient Cyborg, is AVAILABLE NOW!
About the book
Bryn Struse has a lot to worry about.
The orphaned daughter of humanity-saving inventors will soon turn eighteen and inherit the largest company in the Solar Union’s history. Getting to that day will involve her uncovering evidence surrounding her parents’ disappearance, avoiding mobsters intent on kidnapping her, and surviving a 200-year-old cyborg hell-bent on killing her.
With the help of her best friend, Amory, Bryn traverses the dangerous chessboard of trouble and intrigue, which takes place in the near-utopian, space-based setting of the year 2492.
I tend to write a decent amount of poems, enough each year to publish a collection. To date, I have written over 900 poems spread across my seven books.
In 2011, Garrison Keillor read my poem "Riding The Red Line" on his public radio program, The Writer's Almanac. Listen to it here.

What makes me really sad is when great self-published books have terribly-designed covers. It's the greatest book never read because, contrary to the age-old adage, people really do judge a book by the cover.
To help, I am in the process of creating a course on book design essentials. I won't show you how to use Photoshop, or some other design program, but I will show you what should go where, and how things should look to make it more professional.
You've spent years writing your masterpiece of a book. Let me help you make it look great to attract as many readers as possible.
Check back here for updates on the status of my course.
Writing has always been just one of my passions; another is hospitality. For over 20 years I was a very successful hotel manager, the bulk of which was with one of the largest hotel companies on the planet.
Over my career, I have worked at and managed everything from a 240-year old historic inn, a business hotel, a conference center, a large airport hotel, a year-round mountain resort, a midscale extended-stay hotel, two award-winning upscale extended-stay hotels, and a "granny-chic" boutique inn. I've held every position from unpaid intern up through General Manager and have maintained a consistently strong emphasis on operations and fiscal management. Basically, I've always been the guy who has gone into hotels with issues and gotten them running smoothly again.
I left the hotel industry at the top of my game in order to devote more time to my writing. That being said, I am making myself available for a few select clients who are interested in hiring me as a consultant to improve their hotel, inn, B&B, or Airbnb in the Galena, Illinois/Dubuque, Iowa area. Let me put my love for hospitality and my extensive experience to work for you, giving you that much-needed edge over your competitors.
Get in touch and let's make this happen.
