It's that time again. Today, remember. If you're too young, ask. Think about the motivations that led the plotters to kill 3,000 innocents in the Twin Towers. And then ask yourself—is that how I feel about my fellow Americans? Am I willing to sacrifice them for my political goals? If it is, you might be … Continue reading 9/11/2022

Talking Tuyo on A Good Story is Hard to Find
I had the great pleasure of being a guest on the A Good Story is Hard to Find podcast this week, with Julie Davis and Scott Danielson; we discussed Rachel Neumeier's novel Tuyo, one of the real stand-outs from last year.
A Little High Tension: The End is in Sight!
A Little High Tension is the follow-on to Vikings at Dino's and Very Truly Run After that I've been working on for some time now: and I'm glad to say, the end is in sight! The end of the first draft, that is: and it will be a glorious thing. I write by the seat … Continue reading A Little High Tension: The End is in Sight!
Very Truly Run After
At long last, I am proud and pleased to note that Very Truly Run After, the second novel in my "Travels with Michael" series, is now available at Amazon (and anywhere else you'd care to plug in the ISBN). And if you've not read its predecessor, Vikings at Dino's, it's now available at reduced price. … Continue reading Very Truly Run After
Vikings at Dino’s!
My book Vikings at Dino's has a new, much more accurate cover, courtesy of Jason Bach. We've been working on this for some time, and I'm glad to say that Vikings is now in print and Kindle e-book with the new cover. If you already have a copy, the content is unchanged; and if you … Continue reading Vikings at Dino’s!
Running After Very Truly Run After
Some while back I said that I'd finished my next book, Very Truly Run After...and then I sent it off to Julie and discovered that I hadn't. Most authors have first readers. My process is a little different. As I'm writing the book, I read the new material to my wife Jane and my friend … Continue reading Running After Very Truly Run After
Wodehouse and Haggard and Adams, Oh My!
Julie Davis has written a lovely review of my new book, Through Darkest Zymurgia!. You should go read it. (And the book, too!) Here's the money quote: Through Darkest Zymurgia! is what you'd get if you crossed P.G. Wodehouse with H. Rider Haggard and sprinkled a generous dose of Douglas Adams over the whole. I'm … Continue reading Wodehouse and Haggard and Adams, Oh My!
The Year of the Catholic Conspiracy
Today is the feast day of St. Catherine of Siena, which means that The Catholic Conspiracy has been trying to set the world on fire for a full year as of today. (Are we what we should be? We're trying, at least. Sometimes we're very trying.) (Rimshot.) In honor of this achievement, we conspirators are … Continue reading The Year of the Catholic Conspiracy
Through Darkest Zymurgia!
My latest book, Through Darkest Zymurgia!, is now available in print or as an e-book. It's a Ripping Yarn of Exploration and Adventure in a faux-Victorian world with some surprising features and a good deal of understated humor. You'll like it, I promise. It's cheaper as an e-book, but buy the print edition—it's gorgeous.
