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).

Another HUGE thanks to the Haggin Museum for hosting my talk, How To Write a Novel in an Hour! It was a wonderful turnout full of soon-to-be-authors , can’t wait for the next one!

Check out the upcoming Vintage Faire at North Market in Modesto! There’s going to be a bunch of local, talented artisans present, and I’ll bet you that they just might be willing to exchange their beautiful arts and crafts for your legal tender. I’ll also be present with a collection of novels (each one looking for their forever home), so swing by and pick one or thee up. They’re so adorable!!!

On Saturday, January 25th, I’ll be in the Haggin Museum at 2 o’clock giving my world “famous” one-hour presentation on how to write a novel. I’ll be covering everything from KM Weiland to Dwight Swain with a focus on how simple techniques compose macro-structure in modern writing. It should be instructive and fun, but if it’s boring then at least we’ll be in The Haggin which is a gorgeous place be no matter what mood you’re in.
I’m very pleased and proud to announce that the gift shop at the Haggin will be carrying my Old Debts! It’s the dream of every (most) authors to see their work being sold in a brick and mortar shop, and the amazing team at The Haggin has made mine possible! A HUGE thanks to everyone there! And if you have an afternoon open, you should definitely check them out. Along with my novel they have a ton of amazing artwork.

For one night only, tonight at The Write Place I’ll be signing books and reading from them. Well, not all of them. I’ve chosen three chapters from Old Debts that I find particularly important and we’ll take a deeper dive into each, but I’ll also be sharing chapter one of the sequel, Petty, Greedy, and Evil! So even though I know it’s last minute why don’t you stop by at 6PM, there will be wine…
