Greetings, faithful readers, I return from a period of blog silence with news: five years after I began writing it, the Dixiana saga is now almost publication-ready. My, how time flies when you’re in the throes of creative apotheosis.
Well—that only took ten years or so, but Dogs of Parsons Hollow is (almost) here!

Mark your calendar! Here are a few upcoming opportunities to get signed copies of Let the Glory Pass Away and meet the author—that’s me!
