• Around the circle we go…

    My wife reminded me that it’s mental health awareness week. We often talk about the stigma of mental health issues, so we’ve both decided to do a blog about it. Because if no one talks about it, there’s no chance in hell we’ll reduce the stigma. And feeling alone really…

  • It’s available!

    Yes, I know Fury’s Death just came out, but I’m still excited to tell you that Chosen, my next book, is now available for pre-order. This one was fun to write and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I hope you like it. (Released in September) Climate change moved…

  • That one story

    To me, the holidays are about stories. The stories we catch up on. The stories we tell our friends about our family, and the ones we tell our family about our friends. The stories of work, of love, of heartache, of loss and gain. The stories we tell ourselves. And…

  • Wow

    I’m not a big review reader. I’m too thin skinned, you see. Much thinner, and you’d see my inner workings like a clock’s. The last negative review I read kept me from writing for the next three months. I’ve found that some people can be very cruel, and some reviews…
