Update

Hello, sweet ‘ums. I’ve been quiet on here, but just know that I’m busy as a bee working on a bunch of cool projects. I’ve also got a slew of festivals this spring, so be sure to check out my Events page. This week will make two months since what the interwebs tell me was […]

Pre-order your copy of Five Minutes at Hotel Stormcove

Regular readers will remember I recently announced that my story “A Port in the Storm” was chosen for a cool new anthology coming out in May of this year. The premise of Five Minutes at Hotel Stormcove really drew me in. The task was to write a story that took place in the fictional Hotel […]

Shoe Dog

This past (long) weekend, I took a whirlwind trip to Atlanta. It was to a by-invitation-only gathering of published writers, and I had no idea what to expect. I’d made the decision to go during the shutdown, and the thought of standing in a three-hour security line at the airport made me queasy (I’m a […]

A short story

Today I worked on edits for my story in the Five Minutes in Hotel Stormcove anthology (I can’t wait for you guys to read it!). Revisiting the short story format gave me another idea for something I’ve been kicking around but haven’t quite known how to write. It’s a bit of an orphan story, not […]

Guess what…

When it rains, it pours, chickadees. You’ll remember a few days ago I let you know about Five Minutes at Stormcove, an anthology I “cold queried” and just found out I got into a few days ago. Well, the good news just keeps on coming these days, it looks like! I can finally announce more publishing […]

Your next read!

There’s an old Twilight Zone episode I always think about, the story of a curmudgeonly guy who wants nothing more than to be left alone to read all the time. It was supposed to be a cautionary tale about how we need other people (and of course we do!), but I always remember thinking… that […]

Guys! Publishing news!!

Eeeeep!!! I am so excited! If you’re a regular reader, you know it has been a long, dusty road on the publishing trail for me. I can (and have) bored you with the blow by blow before, but a recap: easy first agent and first sale, years of writing other stuff that my old agent […]

Seduced by prosecutors

In the span of under two years, I have gone from someone sensibly skeptical of law enforcement to a regular pilgrim to the chapel of Saint Mueller. How did this happen? I blame Preet Bharara. Preet Bharara, for the uninitiated, is the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. He rose to […]

Random poems

Going through my phone, I sometimes find pieces of things I’ve written in my notes in waiting rooms or some such. I like posting them here, because when I’m looking for something I’ve written, this is where I’m most likely to find it in some semblance of order. So thank you for indulging my babble: […]

Will I see you there?

It may not seem so, but spring is right around the corner. And with spring come literary festivals and other bookish fun. I’ve updated my Events page (it’s about time, I know, I know). If you’re in the New York City/tri-state area, there are plenty of opportunities to come chat and hear about what’s new. […]
