Kali. The Morrigan. Set. The Cailleach. Medusa. Shiva. Melinoe. Odin. Herne. Ereshkigal. They are the Dark Ones. They are frightening and strange and wrathful and odd. Reviled, ignored, feared, and misunderstood, they are the Deities and spirits and monsters of war and disease, savage justice, cataclysm, and death. But also of painful transformation, self-reflection, and enlightenment. Stand in awe of them. Fear them. Then go to them.

Still in the budding stage of my authorship, I may not have a whole plethora of work to offer you in book format, but I do have a variety of writings published in corners of the internet. For instance, though my primary focus in writing is not spiritual/devotional in nature, I have carved out quite a little corner of devotional material over at Eternal Haunted Summer, a quarterly pagan ezine. Among my most recent works published there are: Not Forgotten Dear Brother Gentlest Far Away What Remains Some of my other published writings include the poem "A Monologue for Jocasta" published in the Spring 2014 edition of Unbound, the University of Oregon's creative arts journal and my essay "The Deconstruction of Narrative Framing in David Markson's Wittgenstein's Mistress" in Nomad. Upcoming projects including my work are Garland of the Goddess and The Dark Ones. As I said I'm not primarily a devotional or spiritual writer, but you've got to get your start in somewhere, right?
