My eighth collection, Dopamine and the Devil (Coffeetown Press 2025) now available! I'm a schizophrenia survivor and a songwriter too! Some of my songs can be found on SoundCloud.
Behind me is my good buddy, Dane. He did the fab cover for Dopamine and the Devil. Which might be enough reason to pick up a copy! Hey!
