There's nothing quite like wonderful words from a client, esp one I admire & respect so much. This project has been exceptional; I feel so gratified to work with the best and brightest. I'm a reluctant poster of this kind of shameless self-promotion, but I couldn't let this one pass by!

The adventure continues. Vegan pumpkin pie from the whole damn pumpkin! Just had a taste, and was tremendous, much better than I had figured if would be. Creamy, dense, not too sweet, no coconut milk, and my perfect secret spice recipe. OK, the crust is a cheat... Want my recipe, hit me up

If you're a fan of late 60s rock & roll, take a minute today to remember The White Album. 57 years old. 1968 was a very good year in some ways

Busy week... About 24,000 words written and another 21,000 line edited. Four discovery calls, three regular client meetings, two contracts drafted, 1 signed (the other will be), two client publishing celebrations, 1 Mastermind meeting, and a few hours spent updating SM profiles, including here.

2025’s been wordy 2M+ words edited (22 projects, 17 books—4 out, 3 more dropping soon). 250K+ words ghostwritten: family saga, trans memoir, New Age nonfiction, language recovery book. 75K+ words of my own 2026’s shaping up. Got a book or big idea that needs words? Let’s talk.

For 2+ decades, I've been ghostwriting for a huge variety of clients. From textbooks to graphic novels, political memoir to law enforcement investigations manuals, popular nonfiction to speculative fiction...I recently tallied my projects: Over 100 and counting. What can I do for you?

My current ghostwriting project is a load of fun, but damn if the hook hasn't been ridiculously elusive. Then BAM, it all came into focus yesterday. The project is a bit Fritjof Capra, a bit Esther Hicks, a bit Lao Tzu, focused on a kind of practical mysticism. Now putting the puzzle together...!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but hot damn am I loving the #shangri-las today. "Out in the Streets" is a fine, sophisticated song that showcases all their talents. I could worry about the production value, and remasterings for compilations leave a lot to be desired, but some fine #music

Anyway, surrealism died with Lynch, so we no longer have irony, satire, or the surreal. its just a hyper-mechanical-reproduction world of regurgitated content that someone else made first. #davidlynch #surrealism #walterbenjamin

New Year, new(ish) me! Added voiceover work to my services. New setup; jury still out on cat as soundproofing experiment. First client work accepted. 15 years of broadcast experience, REALLY happy to resume some audio work. If you know folks needing VO work, I'm grateful for all referrals! 😀

Here we are, New Year. Give us your worst. Or best. Whatever. We're ready. I'm going with this mood for the whole damn year. Roll with the punches, like #jimmybuffet Cowboy in the Jungle.

A Christmas thought: "One volume of Propertius and eight ounces of snuff may have the same exchange-value, despite the dissimilar use-values of snuff and elegies." I prefer the elegies, myself.

Serendipity. Reading Walter Benjamin’s Illuminations and I notice that this one—Ramsey—is, well…illuminated. Can I add that I adore Hannah Arendt’s introductory essay to the book? Genius commenting on genius.
