Jigsaw Nation review
"Rising out of the political and cultural turmoil of the 2004 US Presidental elections, Jigsaw Nation is a themed anthology about secession. The basic launch point for these nineteen stories is that the country has split into Red and Blue states -- the geopolitical landscape has been redrafted by way of religious and cultural differences into a patchwork of territories. The writers, for the most part, see these barriers as arbitrary, peopling both sides with sympathetic characters whose traits and actions undercut the split that has turned their neighbors into their enemies. Their view of recent political events varies, however, as some see the political dichotomy of 2004 as a shallow and ultimately facile disagreement (they look back to the issues of the Civil War for a more deeply rooted cause for separation), while others treat the 2004 election as the beginning of an Orwellian descent into martial strife and jackbooted thuggery."

SYMBOLIC
I wrote a column for OPi8.com's Transmit blogs: journals of the new dark underground. SYMBOLIC tracked the novel I was working on, referencing the process and the research materials which mad up the backbone of the work. In addition, SYMBOLIC busied itself with ruminations and considerations on the nature of language and communication. And a wee bit of mythology. The first 100 entries of SYMBOLIC can be found here on this site as well as at OPi8.com.
