Video Reading of Dumped in Oz

  I did a short video reading of an excerpt from Dumped in Oz.  I like doing readings of my work and since I can’t be there with you, I thought I would do a video reading instead.  The scene comes from the end of the first chapter of the story where Lyle and Roger first begin to notice one another.  I hope you like it.     Because of an opportunity he’d be a fool to turn down, Lyle Powers transfers to his company’s warehouse in central Kansas. The last thing he expects is to meet another gay man … Continued

I Spent Time In OZ

This past summer, I had to go on a business trip for the Evil Day Job I don’t have any longer.  I ended up in Kansas in June.  It was surprisingly green with rolling hills and river valleys.  Not the sort if place I expected to like, but it was quite lovely.   The trip required that I spend the weekend.  On Saturday I worked most of the day and on Sunday we needed something to do and on the freeway, we’d seen a sign for the Oz Winery in Wamego.  We had to see what that was all about and … Continued

Crossing Divides – The Story Behind the Story – Releasing Dec 20.

Last May, I was at a loss.  I had finished Inside Out and wasn’t sure what to write next.  A friend, Hope, suggested a follow up to In Search of a Story.  She’s a newspaper editor and that’s what she loves.  She and I were talking it over during a drive from Carlisle to Ligonier, near Pittsburgh.  At one point we turned on the radio and a few minutes later the news began, opening with a story about the fighting in Syria.  At that moment Hope told me, ” You should do that.”  I didn’t think it would work and was close … Continued

Jesse Jackman Talks About His Cover Photo for Inside Out

I can hardly believe I’m on the cover of a romance novel! When Andrew asked me back in June if I’d be willing to model for the cover of Inside Out, I was really floored. Of course I would! And it just so happened that the very same day a very talented local photographer, Joey FlyFoto, asked me if I’d like to participate in an unrelated project he was working on. How’s that for karma? I asked Joey if he could shoot some photos for the book cover in addition to the ones for his project, and he agreed. I … Continued
