After five long years of writing in the shadow of my first book, The Truth Be Told that was published in the year 2003, The Residual Solace has finally reached a status of publication. The book came to a close in March of this year as the season of spring was beginning to breathe.

Those few who remember The Truth Be Told, it was told from an adolescent view over the course of seven years, filled with crude writing techniques and emotional damage. The book was not, by any means, a full blown success. Yes, at the age of 20 I became a published author in high regard to myself, but few copies were ever sold.

Now five years later I have self-published The Residual Solace through Lulu.com. The quality is superb and much better than the first book that was done through a different publisher. Spanning over eighty pages of written poetic material, the book takes a look at defining my memories and understanding their movement in time.

For those interested in purchasing copy of the book, you can visit the book’s Lulu Marketplace page where both a hard copy and digital edition are available. Autographed copies are available on my website and come personalized.

Some poetry in the book was featured on dA as a means of acquiring feedback on my continuing art of writing. To this day I post my last completed works here because of the great community.
