Happy Canada Day! For today, I’m featuring my crime thriller from 2018, YEGman. Readers have called it an unexpectedly gritty trip through the Canadian crime scene that isn’t too common in literature

So... I’ve done a bit of reading over the pandemic. Between Fire, Pain, & Ruin and Mortal: Part IV of Mental Damnation, I haven’t shared a lot of them. Now I’ll start posting the books I’ve read this year in no particular order.
First up is Power Systems by Noam Chomsky. Quite a heavy read and lots to digest, as it is with Noam Chomsky.

The first illustration from Mortal: Part IV of Mental Damnation, featuring Sporathun and General Dievourse. --- “Your tongue spits lies. Just as it did the first time you fooled me. Your snake-like ways are over, general.” He snagged Dievourse’s neck with one hand, clutching tightly as he reached for the blade on the ground. --- Book 1 is now free, visit the link in my bio to pre-order and grab the first book.

Getting back at'r!
Hint, that instrumental score IS book related.

For the past 3 months I've been working on an instrumental score (probably saw it in the insta stories). Its unrelated to W.O.K.E. and more on that to come later this year.
Time to write something new. Something gnarly. Something grimy.
Working on a remix for a wicked band and am returning to the delayed 2 track EP (with a remix from another awesome musician).
Stay woke. 🤙

Does one question disloyal action?
I do.
For I am my own. Self-empowerment.
As such, I was denied.
I keep my master disillusioned.

Here I am,
in the land of the damned.

Our Creator, who watches over all.
Your child, I am.
Blessed to be in thy kingdom.
Created by you, with your endless grace.
While you provide endless love.
In this land of endless dire.
Deliver us from temptation.
Protect us in your eternal embrace.
Then thy will be done.

I see.
World of beauty,
Skies cannot touch me.
Hope for those who sinned mortally.
Kingdom of thee.

I was curious.
To end crisis.
They did not endorse.
There, I was made powerless.

Darkness and death…
Hills of bone,
Rivers of blood
Skies of the mourning dead.

Death overruled
Judgment was taken.
Here I am,
In the land of the damned.
