Who is the "Gray Man"?
Gray Rinehart writes science fiction, fantasy, assorted nonfiction, and the odd song. Or odd songs.
He is also the "Anti-Candidate," available as a write-in vote for any elective office, anywhere.
The "Gray Man" is a ghost, and Gray's alter ego. Check out The Legend of the Gray Man to find out more about the original "GrayMan" of Pawleys Island, South Carolina.

The Anti-Candidate's Position on THE DEATH PENALTY
Unless you're considering writing in the anti-candidate to be your state's next governor, our ideas about the death penalty probably don't matter to you. Nor should they. Face it: very few county commissioners or school board members will ever have to decide whether to stay an execution.
That said, if a jury acting in good faith decided an individual was guilty, and furthermore that the death penalty was warranted, and if the individual had exhausted all appeals, and the time came for the execution ... we would be hard to convince that staying that execution would be in the best interest of the state.
We're all under a death penalty. Some people, by virtue of the attentions of the judicial system and a jury of their peers, know when and how their sentence is going to be carried out.
