“Devious, suspenseful, and wickedly wry, MUSE is a visceral story about the cost of creation for the artists who embody it, the mavens who crave it, and the dangerous forces that make it all happen.” – Dennis Mahoney, author of DEAR DEMON

My dark fantasy novella about art, inspiration and those who would suck a genius dry of their god (or goddess) given talents is out again! And then this time it’s gotten harder! With new hardback cover and bonus illustrations.

Art makes life worth living.
