You can now read my 1997 Web novel Eastern Daylight in its entirety on this site. It was never intended to be published in print form or sold for actual money. For what it's worth, it is my gift to the world of words.
If you like the free sample, perhaps you'll want to own copies of the later works. Bear in mind that Daylight wears its influences on its elbow-patched sleeve. It was originally dedicated to "The Four Toms of the Apocalypse: T.S. Eliot, Thomas Pynchon, Tom Robbins, and T. Coraghessan Boyle." Fans of Pynchon and Robbins will almost certainly detect how much of their styles I liberally cribbed.
The two iUniverse novels show this author staking out his own stylistic territory. I must admit that I prefer the style of Small Town more than that of Earthworm, primarily because the former is easier to read aloud, with tighter sentences and less fancy vocabulary. But by a small margin I prefer the plot and characters in Earthworm.
