Crows, lost souls, and a few questionable life choices—Sea Horses in the Olive Jar is my novel about Walter, a crow with too much love and not enough sense. If you like absurd humor, existential dilemmas, or just really weird books, you might like this one. www.amazon.com/dp/B0DWL5T75W

This is a timely post, I'm between books, you came up in my feed and your book caught my interest. I'm going to get it on kindle. If I can write a thoughtful review I will. Your kind pledge created a ripple in a large ocean.

I like that I can get a book on my Libby app without leaving my chair by the fire. I also like to go to big libraries, find a quiet spot and page thru art books.

This garbage article to sell books is not what we need at this time. More gossip when we need to be serious.

Very cool..how are you illustrating it? Is it inked? Done digitally? Are you turning it into a children's book?

My character Dervish has a penchant for rewriting classic songs. Here’s his take on The Joker by Steve Miller Band #parodysongs #crows #70'smusic crowstales.blogspot.com/2025/03/derv...

Dervish’s Musical Makeover: The Joker…Rewritten

"Glub glub," says Sea Horses in the Olive Jar as it sinks into the unread depths… or maybe it’s waiting to be found.
