Brief Author Bio:

I like daydreaming, smoking, nostalgia, seedy pubs, and the smell of used book stores.
I don't like people that say imagination is a waste of time, lousy fountain pen ink, or artificial plant life.

Synopsis: Unknown

A series of bizarre and extraordinary dreams have been following me over the course of the past 20 years. I am writing a short story collection with each story based upon one of those dreams. Some include unseen malevolent forces that grant wishes by means of a coin, some involve a Zombie Apocalypse staged by the government, and even some involve battling the forces of evil entirely within the plane of the mind (can you sense a common theme here?). This is my way of making them more solid and tangible than a dream, while also accomplishing this goal: NaNo.
