  • Giving Kindle Scout a Try

    Are you curious about my new novel?  Do you want to see what the cover looks like?  Read the first few pages?  Well, today’s your lucky day, because you can do all of that and help me out at the same time. I’ve entered The Prophet of Marathon into the Kindle Scout program, and my campaign went live…

  • September 11 in Lower Manhattan

    Tacked to the wall of my office, just above the spot on my desk where the telephone sits, I keep a copy of William Faulkner’s 1950 Nobel Prize acceptance speech. If you’ve never read it, or if you haven’t read it lately, take a minute and Google it. In five short paragraphs, he manages to…

  • Merry Christmas!

    Just wanted to wish everyone all the best.  Thanks for all your support!  Looking forward to 2015! Merry Christmas!

  • I’m Still Here…

    … although you wouldn’t know it if you looked at my blog.  Pretty shameful stuff on my end, not having posted anything here  since September.  I guess that’s part of the challenge of being a part time author – it’s easy to let things slide, and before you know it, you’ve gone three months without updating…

  • A screenshot for posterity’s sake…

    Enjoying it while it lasts… cool seeing my book in this kind of company…  

  • Movin’ on Up!

    So, I awoke this morning to find that Peripheral Involvement was ranked #3,138 on the Kindle Best Seller list, and #55 in the Mystery, Thriller & Suspense subcategory for Literary Fiction!  It’s the first time I’ve ever cracked the top 100 in a subcategory, so I’m pretty excited! Yesterday marked my best day of sales…

  • Back to School Special!

    If you recall, some months ago, I said that I hoped to finish the first draft of my second novel by the end of the summer.  Since I turned on my TV last night and saw a college football game, it seems like that time has come (although, in our house, summer won’t officially end…

  • Casting a wider net…

    Quick update to my post the other day.  As promised, I’ve taken my first steps outside of the Amazon universe.  Peripheral Involvement is now available in the following places: Barnes and Noble Kobo Smashwords Google Play Apple Ibooks Spread the word!

  • Back to Regularly Scheduled Programming (for a moment, anyway)

    Oh… you though that I’d turned this into a full-time soccer blog?  Well, I suppose I can’t blame you for that.  It’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted on anything other than the World Cup, and now that we’re getting to the knockout rounds (with the U.S.A still alive, no less), I don’t imagine…

  • Have I Got A Deal For You!

    I’m excited to announce my first Kindle Countdown promotion!  From Monday, May 5 through Saturday, May 10, the Kindle edition of Peripheral Involvement will be available for just $1.99!  Cheaper than a ride on the subway!  If you haven’t checked it out yet, here’s your chance! Meanwhile, you can see my interview with IndieAuthorLand.com here,…
