Author | Jock Belletrist | Second-Act Psychonaut | Born Storyteller
Drake is in the publishing phase of his debut fiction novel, Royal Jelly.
As an addicted writer and rank bibliophage, Drake reads popular trendsetters such as Neil Gaiman, Thomas Harris, and Stephen King. Yet he prefers the classical canons spanning Athens, Jerusalem, Rome, and England, including Dante, Milton, Melville, Herodotus, Ovid, Shakespeare, Dickens, Homer, Plato, Freud, the Holy Bible, Talmudic law, and other vital miscellanies of Western imagination. His poetic fount taps the universalizing freedom of Ralph Waldo Emerson, the scalding inner myths of William Blake, and the haunting symbolist poetry of W. B. Yeats. He keeps at bay a Faustian yen to read and know All Things—the tragedy’s that he can’t.
A lover of stories, Drake romances words themselves. Naturally, his fiction prose style is lush, dreamlike, and evocative. His syntax is sophisticated, driven, and lyrical—obscuring certainty to invite sensation.
Drake is an active member of The Atlanta Writers Club.

PEW-PEW
Drake is a pistol crack shot. 6-inch groupings at 80 ft, smiley faces with a .38. He doesn't have the heart to hunt.

#DadLife
Awash in friends of lonely hobbies, Drake splits custody and makes a superb girl-dad, dishing out vicarious restitution to his inner child by spoiling her stupid.
He buys her that overpriced ice cream cone and the Mickey Mouse ears. He buys her two.
