About me:
I'm a novelist and a psychiatrist. I tend to write about topics from the gut -- emotion, love, passion, intensity, and the push for humanity to realize the destiny of the soul as it makes its searing journey through this existence.
And, if you couldn't tell, my first novel, The Dolphin Smiles, is now out! Pick up a copy today! Or you can poke around inside the book right here....
If you've got a moment, you should also check out my new blog!
The Dolphin Smiles on Amazon.com

"EXOTIC, sensual, tackling women's issues ... A dense account of how to survive familial dysfunction as a suicidal overachiever." - Kirkus Reviews
"A literary TOUR DE FORCE. A novel of astonishing power and truth." - Carole Maso
"Immensely wise, beautifully written, and unforgettable. A quest for darkness and light." - Grace Paley
"Salvage brings a LUSH and EMOTIVE poetry to his first novel...An erotic page turner." - Publishers Weekly
|
Who I'd like to meet:
Lovers of fiction. Gender politicians. Psychoananalysts. Queer theorists. Gay and lesbian revolutionist. And people who want to engage in a serious discourse about the wild and various possibilities open to us in our culture to push forward towards the light during a time of complexity and darkness.
