DON'T BE A HERO
(2022 Release)

Heroes are boring. Standing up for weaklings, defending the status quo, reacting instead of acting. Villains are the go-getters, the ones who put grand plans into motion, the ones who change the world.

For their own benefit, naturally.

Villains are complex individuals with tales of their own to tell, and it's hard to have a great story without them. The dark figure cackling in the shadows, the grinning corporate goon behind the desk, the evil empress sending forth her legions, the jerk down the hall who deliberately parks too close to the line every day...

Sometimes, it just feels good to be bad.

Coming soon to print & Kindle.

In Death, the Gift of Life is a book meant to open an important conversation starting on the local level. Inspired by one son's experience with his father's end-of-life passage, this anthology contains the stories of ten individuals from the town of Westport, Connecticut. It asks readers to examine what end-of-life choices and options are available, as well as the challenges faced by those who have transformative and terminal illnesses. Each moving narrative explores men and women who have faced the modern medical establishment head-on, and then deliberately embraced grace and courage in the aftermath. These individuals have influenced an entire community with their unique views about living and dying well, and will continue to inspire through the power of their stories.
