The New Civil War, is novel in progress and, while speculative, provides a vision of how this conflict may well be fought, spoiler alert: I'm not talking about massed armies, secession, or the dissolution of the United States. Spoiler alert number two: I do provide background, speculative theories on the root causes of the current, meaning post WW2 condition of the United States, which go back quite a ways, and in part I provide humor, of a sort: here is a sampler.involving one of the characters, Mr. Misadventure.

Or how about something unique? Often times, when I do readings, I ask the audience for a theme and then select the poems to reflect that request. These collections are similarly made to request. You decide the theme and may even suggest a title. I collect and arrange the poetry. They are usually 40 to 60 pages long.

The Haiku Trove: This is a collection of Haiku collections. I created some for events or readings, others were inspired by themes or created for submission to a competition. I update this collection as needed. This collection includes 8 documents. Their copyrights range from 2005 to the present.

The
Reading Manuscript: This collection has several
hundred pages of poetry. Most all of this work is
new since 2000. I update this collection as needed
for it is the document I draw upon when making
presentations, doing readings or performing at open
mics in the San Francisco region.
Classic Brady: This is a collection pieces,
which have been published over the years. It's as
complete a record as I have been able to construct
after files on early publications were lost.
However, this collection comprises a set of 9 PDF
documents, which includes the table of contents,
eight chapters of poetry,, their publication
record, a collection of published haiku and the
more accurate record of their publications. I
update this document as needed. Any copy purchased
will be the most recent.
I have
manuscripts I am working on as well as a collection of what
I call "idea files" that are plot lines or proto-scripts.
These have been used as a basis for consulting with clients
seeking ideas for stories, novellas, and novels or movies
and television programs in the Science Fiction genre.
Here
is some information about plot
lines.
The
manuscript excerpts such as, Weldon Tanner of the
Beltways, The Hiker and Hera and the very gentle
touch of horror, appropriate for the Twilight Zone, found
the Dreamer - as well as the poetry and haiku links -
provide examples what I enjoy writing.
