He's also had stories performed as radio dramas.He just published his first full-length novel. “Calek's Tale” is a labor of love that he wrote over several years while on the road with his show. It's a fast-paced, gripping, post apocalyptic story about an eleven year old boy named Calek, who lives in Refuge, a quaint, peaceful town on an island in the northern Great Lakes. He has a bright, shining talent to invent new things, or to put existing things together in new ways. This talent begins to run afoul of Hezekiah, the Spiritual Leader who speaks for God to the people. It's feared that Calek's talent will lead the people back to the ways of the Mainland, where a conflagration destroyed most of the world before he was born, sending The Forsaken - drooling, mindless creatures who kill and maim at will, to the shores of the island. But no Forsaken has been seen for a very long time, and Calek's talent simply will not leave him alone...“Calek's Tale is now available on Amazon from Paintbrush Press, both in Kindle and Paperback format.
