"Thanks, Aberjhani, not only for your vote, but for your kind wishes here. And by the way, that's a great lid you have on. It looks like straw? I have a straw fedora I'll get out of the box in a few weeks."

About Me:: Art, Politics, Music, Reading, Romance, Spirituality, Sports, Writing

More About Me and My World: My first novel, January’s Paradigm, was published by Minerva Press, London, England.

In 2008, I completed Backstop: A Baseball Love Story in Nine Innings, which was published in 2010 by Second Wind Publishing.

Chaotic Theory is available from Amazon.

In 2010 I completed The Cobb Legacy, a murder mystery that spans two centuries and centers on the life of baseball great, Ty Cobb. And in early 2011 I completed A Retrospect in Death, what I consider my White Album, and commenced my seventh novel, 500 Miles, a story about the importance, and risks associcated with, pursuing our dreams.

My fiction and essays appear in various online and print publications, including Cezanne’s Carrot, Saucy Vox, River Walk Journal, 63 Channels, The Writers Post Journal, Redbridge Review, and Blood and Thunder: Musings on the Art of Medicine. My short essay on the writing life appeared in the 2008 edition of Bylines Calendar — a 2006 finalist for the Walter Williams Award, given by the Missouri Writers’ Guild. I'm also a contributing writer to Impact Times. My sports writing can be found at Bleacher Report.

A Fistful of Polyphemus

A piece of flash I imagine will find its way into a novel one day.

Nothing like a Saturday morning with a woody staring you in the face.

“Where is she?” Polyphemus asked me.

“Who?” I said, teasing him, knowing full well to whom he was referring.

“You know damn well to whom I’m referring—Kitty.”

“That’s Miss Kitty to you. You treat her with respect.”

“Where is she? I want her.”

The Path of a Creative Thinker at CTI

CREATIVE THINKERS INTERNATIONAL MEMBERSHIP GUIDELINES

1. Membership at CTI is free and open to all those interested in either the production or appreciation of the creative arts, to include literature, visual art, dance, music, film, spiritual theory, the social sciences, philosophy, general humanities, scientific inquiry, education in general, and other disciplines intended to enhance the quality of life for all humanity. Applicants should be at least 17 years old and members are allowed one full profile per person.

2. Materials posted by Members of CTI are their sole responsibility and not that of CTI management or any other member of the CTI site.

3. While recognizing that the work of creative artists is often controversial by its very nature, CTI prohibits and discourages the posting of any overtly obscene and intentionally inflammatory material. These include overt pornography, racist diatribes, religious slander, and any postings promoting discrimination against or the oppression of other human beings.

4. In the interest of stimulating creative growth, we encourage dialogue and even debate. However, Members should avoid leaving intentionally offensive or antagonistic remarks on the pages of Fellow Members. We can disagree and still remain a harmonious community.

5. Explore, grow, share, and enjoy your creative success.

Please remember, these guidelines are likely to evolve as the site itself continues to evolve and develop. We welcome and encourage your input. After all, yours are some of the best minds on the planet so we would be very foolish not to listen to what you have to say.
