My new short film: “Bicycle Time Traveler”
A time-traveling bicyclist perched atop a “penny-farthing” invites you to ride along for a 360-degree tour of his 400-year-old city by the sea. Time moves at wharf speed in this slow-motion visual poem celebrating the wonders Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
My debut novel: ‘A Man of Remarkable Restraint’
Charles is definitely going insane. Has been since he was a kid. He keeps a tight grip on his inner psycho, but losing his job at the newspaper triggers some new craziness he can’t control. Come along on this madcap, darkly comedic odyssey with a deeply troubled, self-antagonistic protagonist — Charles [last name withheld to protect the innocent].
What the heck is on my YouTube Channel ??
A quick visit to my YouTube channel reveals several of my favorite alter egos, Triple Action News anchorman Reid Page and Mr. Billy Buck Teefus, THE American Redneck Savant (meet them in the two clips featured here). You’ll also find dope cuts from my imaginary hiphop artists, plus a mind-bending array of oddfellows and off-the-wall creations.

Triple Action News anchorman Reid Page is my longtime broadcast journalist persona — a pioneer in the art of using overly exaggerated inflection and pauses to emphasize key words … and syllables.
Someone brought a gag redneck denture set to a family birthday party. I bit into it and introduced myself to my family as “Mr. Billy Buck Teefus, American redneck savant.” I was almost as surprised as they were.
I wrote and recorded “Scrub Your Hands n Cross Your Fingers” two months into the COVID-19 plague, before we knew WTF-19 we were dealing with.
My alter ego M-Tone chose his hip-hop stage name because he can only rap in a monotone. Sometimes he rocks the mic as the Robot Rapper. (See the speed-rap version here)
