This Young Gal Wowed Me
I found this video a couple of weeks ago. The young musician, featured in the video, plays a beautifully haunting selection of music with such mastery that when I heard it the first time it brought me to tears. I was deeply moved. Perhaps […]

When and Where Can I Find Your Book?
The short answer is: I hope Wanderer Come Home will be available for purchase sometime this month, July 2022. It will be an eBook at this point. Later, I hope to also publish a print edition but, at the moment, I can’t say when […]
Here’s My Boring Bio
So, here’s the bio which will appear in the “end matter” of my novel. End matter is a new term for me; so I’m having fun using it; but I think you know what end matter is: it’s that extra junk they include at […]
