Cast No Shadow is out today!!
Available in paperback, Kindle, & Kindle Unlimited.
I am thrilled to finally be able to share this story with you…
A brand new short story, Cast No Shadow, comes out on Friday and the usual jitters have overtaken me.
This is probably my favorite work that I’ve produced to date. I feel like it’s honest, raw, and asks some important questions. It’s undoubtedly the most gritty thing I have written, and I think the ending packs a good punch…
Normally, on a weekday morning, the rush is on.
Getting the first grader ready for school, lunch packed, and dropped off on time.
The four year old getting toys packed, slung in the carseat and off to my parent’s or in-laws house so that my wife and I can get to work.
This morning, however, I took my little one out to eat...
A small excerpt from a short story in progress. Enjoy!
…A moment later he tossed the black bag on the passenger seat of his pickup and started up the old, faithful truck. Down the row of trailers, under the orange lights, a few teenagers straddled their bikes and drank cheap beers. They nodded to him as he waved to them...
The following is an excerpt from an untitled, in-process work. Hope you enjoy!
Do we love the ocean so much because it’s our primordial home? It’s possible that the roots of our deepest psyche go back that deep, to the day when one of our earliest ancestors crawled out from the abyss onto dry land...
Well, it certainly has been a while, hasn't it?
I am so grateful for the positive response I've received to the release of Camino Real (get it on Amazon). Releasing your work "into the wild," so-to-speak, can be terrifying, but it's the point of it all, I suppose. Anyway, thank you for your kind comments & reviews...
This is one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve ever seen in my life…
Be brave and watch the whole thing. Force yourself, if you have to, and FEEL this.

This may sound like a weird thing to say, but, I do my best not to argue with my characters. I’ve finished my first novel, The Wages of Grace (coming January 2017!), and I must admit, if it’s nothing else, it’s honest.
I had a few trusted people read the manuscript when I was done with the first proper edit, and I had a lot of good suggestions. I took them all to heart and some I even implemented. However, when it came to character’s motivations or specific things they did that maybe didn’t seem to fit their profile, I was really torn. Some of the suggestions were very good. They were rational and made sense. They just didn’t feel right, though.
