    Sooooo, uh, we drove to the middle of Amish Ohio this morning and brought back a new friend. Say hello to Mr Leo.

    Stewie, 2007 – 2022

    All I ever wanted was a dog. Growing up, my parents tempted me twice with dogs but ours wasn’t a dog family and both times the dogs went back to where they came from after a month or so. Until I was 30 and met Becky. We got to talking about our future together and…

    Nashville Bound

    My dad and I have talked for ages about road-tripping to Nashville and Memphis but never got around to it. Today we’re doing it.

    New Day, New Week, New Year

    I took the remaining Christmas decorations down last night and it got me thinking about how this time of year used to be so depressing for me. Eventually though, I stopped thinking about the past and missing the holiday buildup and started getting excited about the future and making plans and dreaming about the possibilities…

    Social Media and Me and You + An Update

    So, it’s been a while. I had a newsletter drafted and ready to go for June when my latest book was published, but that got caught in TinyLetter’s security net and was never sent. I moved everything over to MailChimp, but my life got insane, then fell apart a bit, after that. Also, the interface…

    The Office

    I love my family, and I love being home to see them all the time, but occasionally I need to get work done. When we first moved into this house I set up my office in a corner of my bedroom that worked well enough for the first year. But now Becky is home too…

    Piano Man

    Apparently having one instrument in the house I can barely play wasn’t enough, so I got one I have *zero* experience with. But I really want to learn how to play classical piano, so why not? It’s a Yamaha P45. I got it from Amazon of all places. It feels and sounds beautiful. After just…

  • Some Thoughts on My Current Book

    Some Thoughts on My Current Book

    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…

    Pickup Man

    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.
