Believe George!

If you watch you'll catch a glimpse of my character in action on one of the covers. Hint: he's the one wearing a hoodie. Further fact: he's a good guy.

Strand Magazine

I love it when the backlist gets new attention.

I just came across this recent article in Strand Magazine. What a treat to see my second novel, Walk Through Darkness, at the top of this list! Granted, it's not a mystery per se, but it occurs to me that the plot is fueled by a sense of mystery as to what's driving one of the main characters. It's about a secret that's not fully revealed until near the end. Interesting. Nice also to be on a list with the likes of James Lee Burke, Ron Rash, Paulette Jiles and Stewart O'Nan, among others. This will suffice nicely as today's pick-me-up.

Stonecoast

I'm starting to emerge from the international move chaos. Yay! It's good being back in New England, enjoying the fabulous weather. Right now, the wind is gently stirring trees outside.

I'm reminded as autumn approaches that my MFA program (STONECOAST) is in the process of admitting new students to begin in January. It's a great program that I LOVE teaching in. Very flexible for people leading busy lives. (And aren't we all?) With concentrations in fiction, popular fiction (as in all the various genres), nonfiction and poetry we've got a lot of bases covered. If you're thinking about graduate study in writing please check us out. And maybe get an application in!
