Eye Catching
At the farmer’s market, Coop looked over the stuff in every stall. Or made a show of it, at least. He was actually looking for clues.
Dad asked, “Are we doing mini-doughnuts?”
“Can I have two bags?” Coop glanced in the direction of the pin...

Summer Courses
Coop had been learning knots since before he knew they were important to Daroo’s people. Dad had encouraged him to add extracurricular activities to Coop’s homeschool curriculum. Summer courses suddenly included wolf culture—postures,...

Signed Books
Jacques appreciates little extras, so I ordered special labels & “not too outre” bubble mailers for his book. Stamping and signing copies of Lord Mettlebright’s Man continues apace. Did you want to order a copy? Details on the Signed Books page >>
You can also reserve a copy of Farley (Journeymen of Stone, #1). Fresh boxes of that are supposed to drop onto my doorstep come Monday.

Over Cornflakes
Over cornflakes, Coop casually remarked, “It’s a market day. Can I go?”
“We’ll all go,” said Dad.
Daroo cautioned, “There’s thunder in the distance.”
“We’ll pack the umbrellas.”
Coop shoveled the last of his cereal. “I’ll get them! I...

Tuesdays and Fridays
It’d never occurred to Coop that there might be other Amaranthine in Pine Hall. He studied their neighbors, but nope. Totally ordinary.
Another possibility had him excited, though.
Folks from other places arrived twice-weekly for t...

Print Editions: FARLEY
Journeymen of Stone. Some of you have been asking. Yes, I do have copies of Farley, which has also recently released in both print & audio formats. These books are *thick* and they have full-color illustrations, which added to the printing costs, so I’ve nudged up the price by a few dollars. If you want to nab a signed copy from me, it’ll be $30 (includes shipping in the US).
In-stock, but limited quantities! I currently have…
8 copies available!
