💯 thought he had no pants 😂

Is there any other way?

Ah, folks, we have to keep up the lie or else we get flooded with transplants. That said; Seattle sucks, it’s dangerous, it’s foggy even in the summer, it always rains, 365 and all the other bullshit Fox News says, it’s all true.

Where chaos and panic ensue totalitarianism strives. Murder mystery, noir detectives, pulp violence, poetry, romance, art and music:

Wealth inequality, oppression, rebellion, love in the face of insurmountable odds. Set after the second civil war; poetic, verbose, confrontational, philosophical and pretentious.It is literature to the umpteenth degree for the sake of art: in the mare #booksky #satire #newauthor #literature #tbrsky

I think over the next 10 years we’ll see a lot of similar stories with different perspectives and experiences. Literature is coming back as a bastion of intellectual thought and rebellion, filling a gap other media is, in some cases, intentionally avoiding. It always has been but it’s stepping up.

Wealth inequality, war, civil unrest, oppression; In the Mare. Written in 2017 when those subjects were more fiction than in 2026, but here we are.

Being an artist means inspiration really can be anywhere,anytime by anything. The juxtaposition of nature, mountains, woods and city always gets me though. #photography #seattle #washington #drawing #newauthor

Is it worth a watch?

Ahhh, that’s what Charles grandparents were 🤔🫠😎

Prequels or sequels?
In the midst of writing my second book and I wonder about this. I think both have merit but where we are today in the world what would you want from an artist in their sophomore effort? #prequel #sequel #booksky #Telltheauthor #writerlife

I began my art journey painting and doing mixed media in school. Moved onto poetry and music. Wrote In The Mare in college while finishing a degree in language and literate. All music and art ran concurrent to the writing. #newauthor #writingprocess #photography #writer #newbook

As the book progresses the art moves with it. It becomes stripped down, degrades, unravels itself, expands in unexpected ways. #booksky #artshares #writingcommunity #authorsonbluesky #art

Even just the teachers pay aspect would be amazing.

Someone saw the old dvd section at a Walmart…

In The Mare: murder mystery, political intrigue, forbidden love,wrongful imprisonment, poetry, action, heartbreak, espionage. Original paintings that connect chapters, 5 sections within the novel, and an accompanying album. AMA #booksky #art #author #newbook #writersofbluesky

One of the only pieces I did with charcoal. It’s hard to save those pieces. That said, the original is still safely intact with the others from Mare. The art inspired the book, book inspired the album, album inspired the art, very cyclical process. #authorlife #artsky #paintsky #watercolor #newbook

Just a daily reminder to let tune out the noise and let the world inspire you. Like our current existence the city can be ugly and cold and harsh but conversely it is also beautiful inspiring and brimming with opportunity #art #photosky #seattle #artistlife #authorlife

All artwork in the Mare is original and a majority are watercolor on cold press. The art corresponds to the chapter and works as a book mark when jumping around in timelines or scenes. Ask more of your artists, expect more #art #booksky #writerthoughts #painting #books

Lamenting the fall of literature by writing complex, unwavering , unapologetic, opinionated, stylistic, literature. #booksky #authorsky #novel #newauthor #newbook

My book is verbose, poetic, violent, & romantic. It requires time, reflection, and analysis. The paintings offer subtext to the chapters, & they change stylistically as the books progress. I write books for readers I expect my audience will rise to the occasion. #booksky #literature #art #author

I can listen to this on a loop all day long, lol. 🤣🤣

Knowing our collective, multicultural tapestry of a nation is the theme of the day. Have a drink, read a book and keep pushing back on oppression. #booksky #author #satire #literaryfiction #artist
