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!
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.
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…
Would you like to be a character in the next mystery that Jake Carter and Nafissa Rayan solve? Or maybe you’d like your business/company featured instead? Either way, if anyone who joins my mailing list for the next month will automatically be entered in a drawing that will decide the winner!

I can finally say after years of writing (thank you Covid for the year and a half delay) that Old Debts is finally out in ebook and paperback format. It’s available at Amazon and follows PI Jake Carter, and his partner Professor Nafissa Rayan, as they hunt a ruthless serial killer through the streets of Stockton, with 5% of all proceeds going to fight housing and food insecurity in the San Joaquin Valley.
