The sweet blessing and the utter occupational hazard of being a writer is that there are words… everywhere. And sometimes, you are the one responsible for them.

This will serve as a repository for some of my words. Eugene Burger, a great mentor of mine, said that he wrote his books on magic in an attempt to better understand the lessons he wished to teach. I follow his example in this, as well as share with you poems and stories, as I so love to do. I am a storyteller, after all.

I will add to this collection as time and inclination allows. I hope you enjoy them, and please feel free to send me your comments. My email address is brian@brianjhatcher.com.
