Minor League Authors

I am really proud of this essay/memoir of the writing life, published in the Spring issue of The Writing Disorder. And since I know some of you are minor league authors yourselves, I think it will hit home. It details the Bull Durham theory of authorhood, developed by me and Amy Nawrocki 15 years ago, and brought to sublime perfection by my friend David K. Leff.

A Devil with Merely Local Powers

Proud to have a publication in the Winter 2023 edition of the Sherlock Holmes Journal: "A Devil with Merely Local Powers." Superstition and Reason are both aspects of civilization, as Arthur Conan Doyle writes in “Hound of the Baskervilles,” and proves by his own conflicted life.

My short story, “The Day on Which the Days Depend,” has been published in Volume 3 of Portrait of New England. There is also a nice little interview with me as the featured author of the volume.

Questing
