Big Al’s Books & Pals calls Tryouts a “quick, fun, intense, and even a bit inspiring read.” If you haven’t yet read my novella – which follows one young man’s quest to make the varsity basketball team – what are you waiting for?!!!

Good morning everyone, and Happy Cyber Monday!

Happy Friday! We made it through another week, and to celebrate, I’ve posted another story on my Medium page – “IV” – which is from my chapbook of flash, Three in the Morning and You Don’t Smoke Anymore. If you don’t have that already, why not pick up a copy – and while you’re at it, pick up my latest collection, (Mostly) True Tales From Birchmont Village. Anyway, that’s my little spiel, and have a great weekend y’all!

Hello my friends, and I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I just want to share with you another review of my short story collection, (Mostly) True Tales From Birchmont Village, this one from LEO Weekly which calls it “a sequence of exercises in stylistic voice.” You can check out the entire review HERE, and if you still haven’t picked up your copy yet, now is the perfect time of year to read this around a fire pit, and of course with some s’mores!

Fleas on the Dog is one of my favorite lit mags, and in November they’ll be putting out their 10th issue. To celebrate this milestone, they’re republishing some of the best work from earlier issues, and I’m thrilled that included among this will be my short story, “Ten Something in the Morning,” from my collection, Three in the Morning and You Don’t Smoke Anymore. I’ll post a link when it comes out, but if you have the time, you should check out all the fine writing they showcase!
