My father’s creativity dominated his life, never letting up. 

In my 20s, wanting distance from him, my creativity instead pushed me into his footsteps.

These memoirs tell Dad’s compelling story and the beginning of mine.

The Leaving Trilogy: A Personal Journey of Love, Sex, and Spiritual Growth

The Leaving Series was written in 2021-23 after I rewrote earlier manuscripts, dating back 30 years. Exploring fictional characters based on people I knew, I gradually gave them free rein. Exciting and fun, the process did not dig deep enough. My next project is to rewrite these three books as memoirs. The story descriptions below will change as I complete each rewrite.

Zak left behind the baggage of his youth to develop his scultpure career. After his father’s destructive choices pull him back into the old mess, Zak heads home to deal with family business. New paranormal experiences perplex him as he struggles to work through his past, get out of Evansville, and reclaim his life.

ST. LOUIS: Searching for his true self without a plan leads Zak through love, sex, heartbreak, and a few successes during his five years in St. Louis. Something beyond himself calls.

SAN FRANCISCO: Zak’s new life in San Francisco is nothing like he imagined. When a challenging series of events leads to a cold, dark night of Soul, Zak is faced with the hard truth: He is as likely to end up in the morgue as he is to live his California dream.
