PUBLICATIONS
Before working in games, I was an award-winning fiction and non-fiction writer, with additional work in film, radio, and theater.
Great games writing requires expertise in all craft disciplines. Here are some examples of my writing in other media.
Work in Prose
“I imagined myself as my father, half a century ago, floating in this same water. I imagined this as home.”
“Yet still we try to blot out that yellow star in our fathers’ night sky, to curb its heat with the whorls of our thumbs.”
“‘There’s Frank Lloyd Wright,’ Manolito said, ‘and then there’s everyone else, and I’m everyone else. And probably you are, too.’”
“The farthest horse is now only a shadowing. I take the picture. Above, a ribbon of grackles. And again she is not here. Again, foolishly, I have taken as my companion the things I barely understand.”
“Twice in the coming year your father will stop what he’s doing—once with a soapy sponge against a plate, the other with the scoop halfway into the dog-food bag—and ask, ‘Am I an OK dad? Are we doing OK?’ Do not hesitate. Say yes.”
