THE SWAMPS OF JERSEY The Swamps of Jersey, Frank Nagler Mysteries Book One: They buried everything in the Old Iron Bog. But who buried the young woman? And why does the ring she was wearing remind Detective Frank Nagler of his old girlfriend? “You can practically smell the corruptive influences and the dank, putrid odor of the swamp in this book. A gritty crime novel that could be ripped from the headlines.” https://www.amazon.com/Swamps-Jersey-Michael-Stephen-Daigle-ebook/dp/B0DGYFCFML?ref_=ast_author_dp&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.5PuY3o2z7o1AOorAzpirYsZ

Fossils
The sun will consume us in a few billion years. Gas billows blow across space, so quick in an instant we won’t have time to look up to call to scream to whisper those last unsaid words; dust. The gray … Continue reading

These words are dust on paper
These words are dust on paper, The chemistry of love, loss and desire, of things unsettled; Weightless questions unformed, queries made alone in silent, empty rooms, like breath spoken to a dark ceiling in those broken sleepless hours. There … Continue reading
