Conviction (2006)
24pp. Fold-and-staple chapbook.
Conviction
is an essay written in 2005. I wrote it to better understand why my goals are what they are and how I’ve processed my life up to that point, but people who read it seemed to think that it’s relevant as more than just self-indulgence so I put it into print.

Welcome to the Terrordome (1999)
60pp. Fold-and-staple chapbook.
I haven't got a copy anymore so if you know anyone who does send them my way. It was an anthology of short-short fiction pieces, journal entries, bad poetry, and artwork. Pretty much everything I had written at the time. It's uneven, quality-wise, but it went into several printings and sold about three-hundred copies.
