My publisher, Northern Lake Publishing, announced today that the electronic version of TBoB will be moving to Kindle Unlimited in … Continue reading Release Day!

April is My Favorite Month
I have always been a huge fan of the month of April. Not only does it bring April showers, leading, I've been informed, to May flowers, (wait... rain sucks), but it is the month during which I was born, in a New York City hospital which no longer exists. (I suppose some might let loose … Continue reading April is My Favorite Month
Let’s Go to London!
Northern Lake Publishing has announced its third release for 2018, and it will be... And, since my name appears conspicuously on the cover, I guess I'm helping in some way or another. Craig and I are very excited to once again turn our attention to the continuing tale of the SpyCo operatives, as they face … Continue reading Let’s Go to London!
What’s Going On?
That is a question that has caused me anxiety in varying degrees throughout my life. A moment of particularly high anxiety occurred during high school when my mom burst into my bedroom while I was in there with my girlfriend.

I had been flailing around with various attempts at designing it myself and coming up with results that looked little better than the cat I colored … Continue reading Cover Reveal
The Ground Is Shaky…
When you're with the one you love and you feel the earth move it's a good thing. When you're in a 100-year-old building and you feel the earth move, it's probably a good idea to get the heck out of there. But there is another kind of shaky ground, and that's the sort that … Continue reading The Ground Is Shaky…
Going Downhill
The phrase "going downhill" carries with it a mainly negative connotation. We use it to denote failing health: How's Pops? He's going downhill fast. I don't know if he'll last the night. Just in case you were wondering, that's a direct quote from my own children, spoken on an almost daily basis. The truth … Continue reading Going Downhill
