I had a good conversation with Joey Calvo this afternoon on his Life with Joey Calvo Podcast. We talked about my health struggles with ulcerative colitis, and how that ultimately led me to leaving the full-time practice of law to pursue my love of writing. And, spoiler alert, I also mention for the first time publicly a new novel I have coming out the first of next year! You can check out the episode HERE.

Novel
I’m excited to reveal the cover of my new novel, THE REASONABLE PRUDENT MAN.
It’s the story of Christian Dismas, a young associate at a BigLaw firm, who gets caught up with a rogue partner and falls victim to his nefarious ways. This is part legal thriller and part morality play, and something I’ve been working on for a while. And I can’t wait to share it with the world!
You can read more about the plot HERE, and my publisher, Silent Clamor Press, has a cool webpage on it HERE.
It’s scheduled to be released on November 3. Pre-order links are expected soon, and I’ll post them once they come out.
Short Story
I feel honored to have my short story–“8:30 AM”–included in the 10th Anniversary Issue of Ink In Thirds–a beautiful lit mag with outstanding writing. Digital and print copies are available HERE.
Essay
Bracket busted? Heart broken? I wrote an essay about that–“When My Team Break My Heart“
Podcast
Hey everyone, my episode of the podcast Off the Comma–“Documenting the Recovery Journey into a New Life”–is now LIVE!
In it, I discuss how my struggle with ulcerative colitis not only strengthened my resilience but sparked my creativity and gave me the confidence to get off my comma and pursue my passion for writing. Check it out at one of the links below!
