Announcing the completion of my first novel, Grass Through Pavement. 

Tender grass rises through even the hardest pavement of life’s journey. So it is with Lucien, a naive teenager thrust into the raging Vietnam War. Overseas, he experiences inept officers, outrageous bigotry, drunken binges and sexual excess. Re-entering civilian life, disillusioned and confused, he bottoms out in the sex and drug-fueled 1970s San Francisco art scene. Encounters with a variety of ordinary people and extraordinary masters guide his way, with one foot in the mud and the other in pursuit of higher ground. Grass Through Pavement is a coming-of-age story that unfolds over the course of 75 years. Lucien’s path to self-discovery tells a tale of redemption, love and truth.

Several chapters have been published along the way as stand-alone short stories in various literary journals. They're available to read via the links below.
