It has no chapters, no plot, no structure, no pictures. It is neither fiction nor non-fiction. It is just a big collection of anything that runs through my head when I am by a computer keyboard. It provides the reader with an open and honest look inside of my head. Simply put - it is a "stream of consciousness" book. I'll let you know when it's available for sale. Should be soon, now that I got my CD done.

I AM A FREELANCE WRITER
I write for and have written for various magazines and websites, including:
Who I'd like to meet: 1. People who would like to buy my CD:
"ECLECTIC POETIC" - A Collection of Unique Poems, Set To An Eclectic Mix Of Production Styles
Eclectic Poetic is not your average disappointingly acapella-only poetry CD. It is my experimental poetry debut release, with 33 tracks, produced by 8 different local producers. Every track bleeds right into the next - giving you 54 straight minutes of seemless poetry, commentary, humor, and experimentation.
There's something on here for everyone. It's got guest singers, guitar, didgeridoo, beat-boxing, scratching & turntablism, samples, vocal effects, flute, sound effects, live tracks, acapella tracks, and a whole lot more.
This CD took me 2 years to make. There is an entry in my blog that tells you the stories behind each and every one of the poems on the CD.
Eclectic Poetic was reviewed in the Broward Palm Beach edition of New Times Magazine by journalist, Jake Smith. www.newtimesbpb.com/Issues/2006-08-17/music/subtropical.html
"Love Games" (Track #7) & "Alternate Reality" (Track #16) were added to the playlist on Eadon's Place, a podcast on Live365.com www.Live365.com/stations/cpia
"Cubicle Cages" (Track #2) was added to the playlist on Innoculated Radio, Show #13 podcast. www.myspace.com.inoculatedradio
