Read & Discover
Plenty of my stuff is online for free. Why? Because I'm an idiot, apparently. No, but serious, though, folks: I've been around. Part of trying to get people to publish you is letting other people publish you way out in the open. Read some of my stuff below.

“Meridian's Arcs”
Meridian, South Dakota, is home to thousands of people and just as many stories. Within its city limits, you'll find ghosts, time travelers and common people just trying to understand life.

Throughout the eighteen-story volume, Rausch gives readers insight into the vast and varied lives of the citizens of his world, drawing connections—some subtle, some overt—between people from all backgrounds and time periods.
Meridian's Arcs showcases some of the most popular and well-loved stories in the Meridian universe as well as introducing brand new works that enrich and expand its scale and scope. Between the stories are arcs of meaning that draw the characters together in time and place. Readers will find that this book is an introduction to the elaborate literary world of its author. Being much more than the sum of its parts, readers won't be able put this book down. -
