I am The Metaphor Guy. Award winning novelist, closet philosopher, chronicler of life’s mysteries – all through the lens of metaphor. Author of "HUNTING MUSKIE: Rites of Passage" - short story collection coming in October 2017 from Blue Denim Press. Review excerpts: “The lead story Slipstream —-actually it’s a novella that takes up some 80 pages in the collection—-is a staggering work of the imagination that culminates in a surprise ending.” ~ Ben Antao, Author of Ben Antao, Author of Blood and Nemesis and other novels “It is this constant interplay of our own actions and the big stage on which we get to perform them, that drives the various narratives. Thus, a man attempting to make restitution after defrauding a church, but seeing his son slip into the same moral lapse, realizes that he has to make a hard choice about his marriage; a washed-up hockey enforcer turned bouncer learns the painful way that our misdeeds, no matter how long in the past, have their way of coming back to haunt us and sometimes with unforeseen and catastrophic consequences.” ~ Jake Hogeterp, author of On Cloud Nine Author of “METAPHORS OF LIFE JOURNAL aka Things That Make Me Go Hmmm”.
