My BIG NEWS
This week I signed a publishing contract for a novel to be launched in 2026. It'll be the fourth one.
My first, Blue Rubber Pool, set in rural South Carolina and South America, is a love story disguised as the memoir of smuggler trying to retire. It was released by a small publisher in 2018 then self-published in 2023.
My second had the working title of Birdwatching on Edisto but too few could pronounce Edisto and the rest mistook it for a field guide. Regal House sat on it for what seemed like forever so I self-published a few months ago. It's set on a Carolina sea island and titled The Bird in Your Heart.
I'm currently finishing what may well be the final draft of a novel set at an old hotel beside the sea. My plan is to self-publish to fill the gap between now and 2026.
After the fourth comes out in 2026, I should have a fifth one ready.

Writing in South Carolina
Updates from my world in the Carolina boonies where I work on writing novels (one published, three more to go) while keeping a small half-alive vineyard, some blackberry bushes and peach trees.

A neighbor's cows wander over—they seem curious about my banana trees, a patch of 20 or more near the hot tub where I read books to post reviews written in a style all my own.
If I go anywhere, it's in a beat up Wrangler with holes in the floor to let water out.
This is easier than my life before. I'm happier. ...more
