My writing work includes: an extensive series of music crossword puzzle books, the biography of the band Danger Danger/the Defiants, Masonic themed plays, spiritual writings and poetry, with a background as a newspaper columnist and author of Washington State history.

I’ve also blogged music interviews and 600 rock/metal reviews that can still be found online. I also hosted numerous music podcasts on blogtalkradio between 2010-17: Roman Midnight Music Show (formerly the Roman Midnight Music CD Reviews Podcast), News Notes the only Libertarian music news show, The World of Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Maine Music Journal and The Lighthouse.

I’ve played electric and upright bass in the pop trio Temperate Rains with Alaska teacher Justin Cano, the NYC blues-metal trio Tired Wings, the NYC punk band The Violence, the NYC metal group Death By Knight, and the Portland Maine alt-country group Willy Martin & The Woods, and done industrial music as Blank Faced Prophet. Look for my industrial music digitally online and alt-country music on bandcamp.
