Projects
Below is a sample of my more recent work over the past few years. Keep in mind that I am not really taking on new clients at this time. Every few years I drag my novel out of mothballs and start plugging away at it, and right now, I’ve got the bug. Again, this page is for display purposes only. Not for sale.
Local Authors
By far and away the most rewarding work I’ve done in recent years has been working with local authors. Typesetting books, designing book covers, bookmarks, event posters and fliers, or creating their websites. I miss being so actively involved in the local author/book publishing community. But once I finish my own novel, I’ll be back!

Website Development
A collection of the more recent websites I’ve built for people. They are in no particular order, though the top row were the most fun to work on. Also keep in mind that I am no longer responsible for maintaining these sites, so I apologize on behalf of the internet if they have fallen into disrepair.
-
- A website I developed for my Thursday night RPG group. We live in different cities now, so seemed natural to build a site that compiles all of the group’s info and integrates group chat. I’d be happy to set one up for you and your group as well.
-
- A non-profit that promotes literacy and writing for all ages, especially K-12, through writing contests, mentor programs, writing conferences, and free workshops.
-
- A local publishing company I recently co-launched and help operate. I no longer manage their site, so don’t judge.
-
- A kick-butt sci-fi/fantasy series by a local author. Check out the site, and take a look at his books while you’re there.
-
- A site I built through HBE Publishing for a local author who wanted to blog and highlight her upcoming novel.

- A site I built through HBE Publishing for a local author who is writing his memoir on his tour of duty in Vietnam.
Logos & Imprints
This is a collection of the Imprints I created for HBE Publishing. The list grew as the need for a new imprint arose, and it was challenging but very enjoyable to keep up with demand. You’ll notice that each imprint/logo is matched with a background that helps showcase the feel I was going for with the specific genre. Plus I collect free high-res stock photos and needed an outlet to showcase them…
