At ASU he wrote a historical fiction for his creative writing class called “Good Friday: The Death of the Second Messiah,” which later was released in his first collection Almasheol (2002), along with five other post-graduation era pieces.
His second novel, Postcards of the Hanging, is expected to be released this summer. He has also released a poem about his days as a newspaper columnist in Today's Famous Poems: On the Wings of Pegasus (2003).

The conservative ex-journalist, former shopkeeper, and dog l over is a famous figure around his community, often seen collecting aluminum cans on the highway and running weekend yard sales during the summer."
