Happy Valentine’s Day! In the spirit of this holiday, I’ve just released my new chapbook – ALL THE THINGS SHE SAYS – a collection of sixteen short stories first published nonsequentially in lit mags and journals over a span of seven years to tell the story of a couple navigating the detours and roadblocks of life. It’s available now on Amazon, for Kindle Unlimited, or from your favorite independent bookstore [ISBN: 978-1-7375801-5-7]. And check out this page for some extra content, including a playlist I’ve curated that sets the vibe for this book!

Hello everyone, and Happy Friday! We’ve made it through another week, and I’ve got some exciting news. I just posted a new short story on my Medium page, “Postcard.” This is part of a collection that I’ve been working on for a while, which I was originally going to call The Sadie Stories, but instead, I’m calling All The Things She Says. These are sixteen stories that I’ve published nonsequentially in literary journals and magazines over a span of seven years, assembled together for the first time, that tell the story of a couple as they navigate the ups and downs of life during their more than thirty-year relationship. It will be available for presale soon, and it releases, fittingly enough, on February 14!

Hello, my friends, and Happy November 1st! The day has finally arrived, the release of (Mostly) True Tales From Birchmont Village – The Complete Year, an expanded edition that features five new stories to round out the year with this close-knit community of quirky and eccentric residents. So make some s’mores, and get a copy NOW, at Amazon, for Kindle Unlimited, or order from your favorite independent bookstore [ISBN: 978-1-7375801-4-0]

So if you’ve read my short story collection, (Mostly) True Tales From Birchmont Village, and thought how you might need a few more stories about this quirky and eccentric group, well, you’re in luck, because coming November 1, I’m releasing (Mostly) True Tales From Birchmont Village-The Complete Year, with five new stories further chronicling their near catastrophes and calamities. The new stories (and, thus, new perceived problems for these folks) are:

• The Time Ted Canari Took a Beach Vacation
• The Time the Potato Festival Finally Returned to Birchmont Village Only to Nearly Be Lost Again
• The Time the Black Friday Sale at Lilabelle Durham’s Upscale Boutique Got a Little Out of Hand
• The Time Movie Night Turned Into a Rock Concert
• The Time the Johnson Family Moved

Pre-order is happening now at Amazon for Kindle, and there will also be a paperback version released on November 1 as well. So make yourself some s’mores, and pick up a copy!

To mark the two-year anniversary of the publication of my chapbook, Three in the Morning and You Don’t Smoke Anymore, I’ve released a special, expanded e-book version, Insomnia Edition, which contains three new, never-before-published stories: “Shrink,” “Tattoo,” and “Karaoke Night.” It’s available starting today, exclusively on Amazon and for Kindle Unlimited. And if you haven’t bought a copy of the print version yet (and why haven’t you?!!!), I just posted on my Medium page a story from that, “Sometimes You See That Girl.” Have a great rest of the week!
