Scott Fitzgerald; Ernest Hemingway; Goethe; Plato; Aeschylus; Sophocles; William Goldman; Celine; Jean Genet; Anthony Burgess; Norman Mailer; Scott Heim; Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.; and Aristophanes. As for poets: Sylvia Plath; Dylan Thomas; Emily Dickinson; William Blake; Rimbaud; Anne Sexton; Charles Bukowski; Sharon Olds; Jim Carroll; Wanda Coleman; Gregory Corso; Allen Ginsberg; Jim Morrison; Anna Akhmatova; Sappho; and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. One of the most influential books I've ever read was: Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson, by Camille Paglia. It changed my life. Her revolutionary theories shocked my intellect to the core and both confirmed many of my own beliefs and forced me to re-examine my entire world outlook. This one is a must-read!
I have been published in both print and online literary magazines, including, "remark";
Cause & Effect; Clockwise Cat; the Scruffy Dog Review; Tabard Inn: Tales of Questionable Taste; and Parasitic (UK)

About me: Due to a clerical error which has yet to be resolved, I have entered my forties. I am a psychology major at Hill college and currently work in the medical field in Ft. Worth, Texas. I am a writer and have been writing since the second grade. I have written several novels and dozens of short stories in that time. I recently completed a 2-year writing program under mentor Bill Pippin, a man who has been publishing in the field since the late-1960's. My latest attempts at selling my work have been met with increasing enthusiasm from various editors. Two poems, "An Old Woman Walking Along A Near-Empty Plaza" and "A Dallas Street Corner, Early Morning" appeared in the June, 2007 issue of Remark magazine; two more, "Death Waits For Me" and "The Ambivalent Voyeur" appeared in the Nov/Dec 2007 issue of Cause & Effect magazine; and the poem, "The Carnival at Night," appeared in Thieves Jargon Online. As for short fiction, my short story "Waiting For Columbus" appeared in Issue Six of Clockwise Cat Online(December, 2007); "The Baker's Daughter" appeared in the Winter, 2008 edition of the Scruffy Dog Review; my brutal tale, "Lights! Camera! Action!" appeared in Tabard Inn: Tales of Questionable Taste #3 in early in 2008. My latest short story, "Valentine's Day," appeared in the September, 2008 issue of Parasitic Online(UK).

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!
There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
Congrats on your poetry! I hope I can get a copy of your compilations once it comes to fruition.
Steven is in his first year, with him going part time and working full time, it will take 4 years to complete...so he's got a while before he has to worry about the BAR.
Right now I'm studying Floral Design....office environment has it's perks, but it's detrimental to any sense of creativity I have. I just finished the 2nd class in a 5-class series. Who knows, maybe it will lead to a new career or hobby. Either way, I'm absolutely loving something to do a couple of nights a week that is just for me.
Pretty good, now that I'm close to cutting alcohol out of my system, getting close to finishing off my book and with a load of rough draft of poems waiting to be completed, I'm content but its now a case of losing a that tyre track around my waist, haha, but yeah, I'm good
Hey Douglas, yeah not to bad thanks just getting over flu so been a dull week. How are you and how's the writing coming along, sorry meant to reply to your last message about the chapbook I'm also trying to get something together to send off soon, I wish you well and will definetly buy a copy. Thanks for the comments.
Hey Doug, how are things? Life is going great here in Austin. I'm at work right now, wishing I was still in bed. Steven and I have been super busy lately, him in law school and working full time, and I'm also taking a class a couple of nights a week.... How's the family?
Thanks, man. It's probably not the best thing that I've ever written, but it does bear one of my favorite titles. Now, if I can just get my pen off its lazy ass...
