My passion is writing, so I wrote a book. Here, have a look. It has embarrassing sex scenes galore, which is why I've taken something I adore—i.e., the sight of a cormorant drying its wings in the sun—and used it as my pen name forever more.
Another passion of mine is photography. It just so happens I seem to have a transcendental experience (similar to what the 19th-century Transcendentalists wrote about) whenever I go on a photography walk; thus, I go on photography walks often. Some of my photos are available free at my Unsplash account and some for purchase at my Fine Art America account.
Credo
Science is my religion.
Nature is my chapel.
Literature is my sermon.
Reasoning is my salvation.
Compost is my final contribution.
Miscellany
There are other things about me I don't want to ignore, but I also don't want to be a bore, so by trick of brevity I'll tell you everything.
👓This book is a resplendent assemblage of original photos and thoughts inspired by seemingly transcendental experiences the author had during photography walks. Some content consists of quotes by the nineteenth-century philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson and others. This book makes a wonderful gift for pondering souls who love nature, photography, and self-reflection.
👓An unprovoked attack on Earth prompts the U.S. military to send a small contingent to assassinate the matriarch of a world where mothers and daughters are exalted. A dissenting citizen from the world provides the U.S. military with guidance by insisting a female be an operative in the contingent. Captain Joan Jones is the operative. She’s a mother of a young daughter and is conflicted and torn by her call to duty. The contingent faces a barrage of unexpected events while Captain Jones becomes captivated by the Magentan matriarch. Will Captain Jones’ maternal instincts fail or save the contingent?
