Whenever I’m writing something, especially a longer piece like a novel, I’ll pick out songs to listen to that will get me in the mood of the story. I’ve made the playlist for The Thing About My Uncle available on Spotify. You can check it out at this link!
Essay and Novel
Hello, my friends, and Happy Spring! I have some exciting news to report. First, I just learned that my essay, “Who’s the Old Guy on the Skateboard?” has been selected to appear in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Just Say Yes. This edition is currently on its way to the printer, and will go on sale July 16, 2024. I’ll have more information as the date approaches. I’ve always been a big fan of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, and it’s really awesome to finally be included in this!
Second, my debut novel, The Thing About My Uncle, is currently available for review on NetGalley.

Novel
Hello, my friends, and Happy Wednesday! I have some exciting news to share, as I reveal the cover art and release date of my debut novel–THE THING ABOUT MY UNCLE–available August 20, 2024 from BHC Press. It’s a coming-of-age thriller, told from the POV of a 14-year-old boy who gets kicked out of school for having a gun in his backpack so his frazzled single mother sends him to the hollers of eastern Kentucky to live with his reclusive uncle. Through their time together, family secrets are spilled and family bonds are formed, leading up to an exciting conclusion. (I can’t say more because I don’t want to give anything away–but trust me, it’s a real page-turner!)
Pre-orders will be happening soon, so stay tuned…
