I told you there was… MORE TO COME!!!
I’ve been dragging this on for almost eight years. Eight long, wonderful, child-filled years, but the time has come to finish the third installment of the Black Cape Case Files. Behold, Old Iron. In order to find the man who framed him for the murder of his former partner and mentor, Dane Curse must enter the dreaded… Impenetron.
Oh yeah, big DC is headed up the river in this thrilling sequel to Dane Curse and The Coconut Swindle. I don’t mind saying, even in its current unformed form, it’s a stellar read. I expect it out by Christmas. So strap in, I know I’ve said it dozens of times before, but it’s getting done.
My God, just look at it… So big. So yellow. So finally printed and published. Man alive, this was a long one. No other book in my life straddled worse events, but despite everything we brought it in for a landing. Anyway, back to the mines. The word mines. Because I’ve got another announcement coming in moments!
Oh, and you can buy it here. Or you can just window shop by reading the blurb. It’s really up to you.
Behold, my first ever book tour! I’ll be hitting a whole bunch of spots in the next two months on a countdown to the release of my newest novel, Petty, Greedy, and Evil! “Why didn’t I schedule the tour for when I released the new book” you may ask? Because I didn’t finish it in time, nosey-pants! Anyway, I hope to see you there!!!

Indie bookstores are the low watermark for a civilized culture. nowhere else will you find people so deeply devoted to the written word. And I’ll be reading and signing at Stockton’s premier (and only) indie bookseller, Mr. Otto’s Bookstore on the Miracle Mile! Swing by why dontcha, I might just be reading the opening chapter from my soon-to-be-published sequel to Old Debts, Petty, Greedy, and Evil…
So I’m super excited to announce a reading at Terra Coffee on Friday, April 11 at 1. I’ll be doing a little from Old Debts, but also the first chapter from its sequel, Petty, Greedy, and Evil. Hope to see you there!!!
Mr Otto’s Bookstore joins the proud group of retailers now carrying Old Debts and I’m feeling super grateful! A HUGE thanks to Alex for carrying my work!!!
A HUGE thanks to the team at Barnes and Noble of Stockton who are now featuring my novel Old Debts! I always hoped to be here and it feels better even better than I thought (and I thought it would feel quite good).
