Any Shelter is a quick little urban adventure, the kind any long-term resident of New Orleans might recognize. A reimagining of the Crescent City after rising sea levels have recreated it as an underwater urban sprawl. Hunkering down for hurricanes when living under the storm surges becomes both familiar and altered.
2026-08-14: Elena and I are working to produce more audio productions of my short stories. Next to be released is expected to be Any Shelter. We are planning to release an audio version of each text-based story on this website. We are hoping for about one release per week for this first five stories available from the launch.
2026-08-12: At launch, the plan has always been to offer five (5) short stories as an initial outing. In text, and then eventually in audio mp3 formats. I (and my narrator) are aiming to release other new stories also. About one (1) per month starting in September of 2026.
I will also be working to self-publish my debut novel for full availability in download and print-to-order by the end of 2026. The first part of a Trilogy I have titled Progenies’ Return. The first installment is called Vermin. I have thoughtfully crafted and honed this story for four years. I am also currently working on creating Part 2 under the working title of Vaunted.
I also have unrelated time travel epic in first draft called Pivot being created. Lots more to come. Watch this site for more fantastic creations from my imaginative mind.
2026-08-14: New ad videos for the website and for Hunted are being produced by the author and narrator this coming weekend. A new YouTube channel will be added for expanding exposure of the website. Links for the YouTube and TikTok channels will be added to this website shortly. Keep an eye out.
2026-08-14: Work on the next audio edition of will be produced over the coming weekend and following week. Expect Any Shelter to be the next available audio adaptation available for purchase by next week.

People who feign to call themselves "AI artists" too often think of "art" as little more than a time-burning hobby. I view them as falsely claiming an unearned label via misleading means and insultingly trite imitations. I find them to be sadly envious of real artists pouring their hearts out into their medium(s) of choice.
Creating art in any medium is an exercise in self-imposed obsession, perseverance, and dedication. It demands a sacrifice emotion, of time, and of self. Always. It’s not supposed to be easy or effortless. If anything you create is ever going to be meaningful, your self must be ultimately be the final price.
