I knew that I would be a writer, though not necessarily to the exclusion of other activities and occupations, from a fairly young age; I wrote my first novel, ghastly though it was, in my freshman year of high school. Not wanting to regret early publications of questionable quality, a plan began to take shape in which I would spend ten years, writing at least many hundreds of pages a year, honing my craft prior to publication. The writing came much easier than the waiting.
Those ten years concluded, I began allowing my work to be published in 2001, embarking on a five-year program to complete Personae Temporalis, a massive literary structure of books that related on meta levels, allowing each book to be taken on its own while simultaneously a part of the larger structure. Personae Temporalis is the product of those ten years of thinking, planning, writing, and revising. Its structure is that of a grid with six columns and nine rows, with certain intersections containing multiple books. Upon its completion in October 2006, Personae Temporalis will consist of over 100 books of varying lengths, including novels, short stories, poetry, plays, teleplays, screenplays, graphic novel scripts, and non-fiction -- all of them interlocking on various levels to create one massive work of revolutionary consequence.
The volumes published thus far are listed below in reverse chronological order (from newest to oldest). The same volumes are listed at the bottom of this page in the Personae Temporalis grid. The same volumes are listed by category (or medium) at left. Independent pages are available for each volume; click on a title to go to the details for that volume.
