Bio
I’m a poet, writer, software engineer, and an explorer of (virtual) worlds. I’m in my 60’s, love dogs, and have been crazy about technology since my early 20’s. I work fulltime, and have no immediate plans to retire, but I am trying to get my start as a professional writer.
I started writing poetry when I was 17, and while most of what I’ve written is terrible, I have penned a few decent poems. More recently I’ve started writing stories and I enjoy doing this because while it’s hellishly difficult, it’s easier than composing poetry.
More from Gary:
I’m dedicated to finding success and I’m working hard to finalize a book of dark poetry concerning the topics of life, death, war, and relationships. I am also finishing up a book of dark short stories. I hope to release both books on Amazon later this year. I have tried my hand at publishing before but have yet to find success.
Books
Title: In Letting Go: poems of life and death
Published October 2024
Genre: Poetry
This collection of poems explores the travails of life, the inevitability of death, and a fantasy realm where nothing is black and white. It’s poetry that deals with aging, disappointment, war, suicide, grief, loss, and death. Its first chapter focuses on life, the second on death, and the third, on a fantasy world filled with flawed characters who inhabit a realm where the gods aid the nobility and ignore the poor, while the realm of the dead threatens them all. The paperback is a deluxe print version that includes illustrations for each of the poems in the book.
