 Originally posted on Substack on March 11, 2024. So, there will be another update on this coming soon.Texas is going well. There's no snow, thank God. I never want to see snow again.

The Warning Labels of Declan Finn

 There have been some poor little babies over on Amazon who have objected to things in my Saint Tommy NYPD series.They object to things like… Jokes about other Catholic orders. Jokes that my father, the 3rd order lay Dominican (OP, not DR), have told since the day I was born. Their sins being written down and insulted.Prayers.

Whatever Happened to Declan Finn?

#BookReview: Dark Day, Bright Hour, by Julie Frost

On the Olympics.

It’s really freaking cold out in Texas today. I was hoping to get this done early on Wednesday, and you see how well that’s turned out. As I write, there is no internet, and I’m doing most of this from memory. So if I miss some
