A Very Late Status Update
I’ve had several people reach out to me recently to make sure I was still alive… which is always a strong indicator that it’s been far too long since my last update. This month’s post will be a short one, because, as you’ll see, things are really busy. Still, May has one day left and that means I can squeeze in a very late status update.

The One Tin Soldier audiobook is now available!
Today is apparently an audiobook sort of day. I am thrilled to announce that the One Tin Soldier audiobook is officially live and available on Amazon, Audible, and iTunes!
This final book of The Murder of Crows trilogy is near and dear to my heart, and Joe did a fabulous job once again with the narration. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have!
In other audiobook news, I’ve signed a deal with Tantor Media to produce audiobooks for my The Many Travails of John Smith series. We just signed the...

The Italian Screwjob, post-release: what’s up and what’s next
There’s nothing like a new release to make the month fly by, is there? It feels like just yesterday that I was releasing The Italian Screwjob, but it’s already been more than two weeks, and April is now knocking on the door, probably with a pie ready to throw. Before that inevitable (and inevitably unfunny) pie to the face, I wanted to do a quick retrospective on the release. Sales reports, reviews, progress updates, and a tenative two-year publishing schedule… let’s see what’s up and what’s nex...

The Italian Screwjob is now available!
Beware the Ides of MarchIt’s all too fitting that The Italian Screwjob, a book centered around the murder of a ruler in Rome, should be releasing on the Ides of March. I’m happy to announce that the book I sometimes describe as John Smith Goes to Italy and Eats Spaghetti is now available! The fourth in my seven-book series about John, private eye and neophyte mediator to the supernatural, The Italian Screwjob is a pivotal installment, resolving some long-running threads and setting up entirely...

Meet the Author: An Interview with Me
In a month already overflowing with new posts, I have one more to share with you all before we get to the five sample chapters for The Italian Screwjob, and this time, it’s about me instead of my books. Well, I guess it’s about me and my books… this week, I was interviewed by a fan and fellow writer!
The questions posed were a lot more in-depth (and far more interesting!) than your standard interview fare, and I had a lot of fun talking through my process, and the inspirations for my settings a...
