My current book is this weird hybrid of domestic suspense and noir revenge thriller that I envision as part A STRANGER IN MY GRAVE and part IN A LONELY PLACE (book not movie), but I can never settle in my mind if it’s worth writing. Over the last two years, I’ve cut it from seven […]
I never really considered myself a truck guy, but we had to replace my Fusion and I get sick of asking to borrow my in-laws’ truck all the time for projects around the house, and I need something that can pull a camper, so I bought a truck.
I originally wrote something on Twitter about preferring journaling to blogging and the second I posted it, I knew it wasn’t true and I deleted it. Because the truth is I love writing here. I do enjoying journaling more than I ever thought I would and it has it’s place for helping me work through […]

My beat is crime fiction, as most of you know, but I also dabble in other corners of the literary fun house and certain authors who write a lot online like John Scalzi and Chuck Wendig have crossed over into the larger literary community as a whole and are read by folks well beyond […]
I’ve joked on Facebook a few times that I never expected to be the parent of an athlete and be involved in camps and competitions unless it was related to choir or theater. But Holly auditioned for pom on a whim and made the team and suddenly I’m a pom parent. It really does seem […]
This is what Friday looks like at our house tonight. We’re supposed to get a bunch of snow later tonight and into tomorrow morning, so the weekend will likely be one spent inside reading and writing. Hope your weekend, wherever it is, treats you well.
