Draft Novel: Three Nights in Vegas: A Story About Cards and More

My 2004 first foray into novel-writing, Three Nights is a pretty basic story of a burned-out financial and operational consultant who takes a few days off from work for a vacation in Vegas and meets his match both at and away from the poker tables. The storyline is predictable in parts, and as a whole the novel needs some dramatic rework to get it out of its current 90% of first draft status. One of these days I will get around to it I am sure. Maybe when I have nothing else to write.

Collection: The Continuing Evolution of the First Volume of Truck Poetry - various authors

TCEFVTP, or some such acronym, was a collection of poems written by several students in the 1991-1994 timeframe. I had several poems included in this collection, but they were generally meant to be a humorous and absurd take on poetry, mocking the educational system as well as politics or nothingness all with simple poems ending in someone or something being hit by a truck. Since 1996, I have been using the phrase "Truckpoetry" for my site and various nicknames around the web, as a reminder of this project and my great friends who also participated in it, some of whom are unfortunately no longer with us providing their great literature. You will be missed always and remembered.
