Communication between people is considered one of the greatest achievements of the human race. It is the one thing that seems to set us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom, this fact that we can construct complex sounds together and assign all the nuances that create associations in another's mind.

Starting in 1998 I started posting my poetry and short stories online. My first website was an inclusion of these writings. When I completed my first two novels, I made them available online, in their entirety: New Earth Works. The E-zine was a natural extension of this activity. It went online in March 2003. It includes observations, as well as expository thinking. © 2003-2007 All writing, music or photography presented on this site is the property of their respective and individual creators.
