I live by my city’s high school. This morning, I heard cars and kids making their way to their first day of the 2013-2014 school year. Most years, I’m getting ready to head back myself. I teach middle school writing at the school my church runs. I stop in a…

It seems like I’ve been mentioning The Unremarkable Squire for something like a year. (Oh, wait. I have.) But now, it’s time to announce… The Unremarkable Squire is now available! You can get the print version from the publisher, from Amazon, or from your local bookstore. The ebook , from what I…
The Unremarkable Squire is nearly to the printer, so you should be hearing an official release date from me soon. If you haven’t signed up for a preview of the first chapters, why not do that now? But, in the meantime, why not read something short and action-packed? While I’ve been…
I’ve spent the last week looking over galleys of my novel, The Unremarkable Squire. This stage of publication is a strange one for me. First, I start over-analyzing all my sentences. Is this really the best word here? (Never mind I’ve asked the same question a half-dozen times over as many previous…
I’ve always been fascinated with serialized, multi-author projects. Back in 2005-2006, I helped organize The Story Project, a two-year, multi-author project consisting of the fictional blogs of 13 characters as their lives intertwined in a New England mansion. A few years later, I helped organize a pulp fiction project where…
My website’s been pretty quiet lately, and I apologize for that. It’s because I’ve been busy on projects and tasks that you’ll see soon. Here are a few of them. The Unremarkable Squire I’ve spent my daily writing time lately going over corrections for The Unremarkable Squire, which is to be…
Back in June I announced that my fantasy novel The Unremarkable Squire was to be published by Barking Rain Press sometime this winter. Unfortunately, this fall, my editor had some illnesses in the family to deal with, and the project was put on hold until a new editor could be assigned…
One of my goals for 2013 is to launch and maintain an email list so that I can directly fill in my readers on new publications as they come out. (Another goal is to get some of my unpublished projects out.) So, here’s the deal. I want you to sign…
I’ll be at The Next Chapter Bookseller in Warsaw, IN, on Friday, February 1, from 5:30-7:30pm for a book signing with my wife Natasha and fellow writer Nathan Marchand. The three of us have done a number of projects together, which will be available at the book signing. Pandora’s Box…
A few weeks ago, friend and fellow writer Nathan Marchand suggested that we swap short stories. He would write in one of my worlds and I would write in one of his. He chose Vienna, USA, because I’d been promoting it. He came up with “The Discarded Gift,” a Christmas story…
At the center of Vienna, USA is probably the best story of the collection, “Local Man Struck By Lightning Survives.” A product of an unwritten story about clouds and my stint as a reporter during the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Festival, it portrays a remarkable incident in the life of Richard Higgins, reporter. Higgins views…
“The Love Letter,” the second story in Vienna, USA, is a strange story. Without revealing too much, it’s about Mark Parrish, who doesn’t want at all, and so he drags a young lady into his experiment to determine why people willingly suffer because of their desires. Of all the stories in Vienna,…
