IT’S FINALLY HERE, PETTY, GREEDY, & EVIL HAS ARRIVED!!!!

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.

Petty, Greedy, & Evil Now Available!

It is with great pride that I announce the sequel to Old Debts is finally ready for consumption! Petty, Greedy, and Evil will be available on August 15th for pre-order (at a lower price cause I’m cool like that) and September 1st for actual normal order (at regular price, cause there’s some tight limits to exactly how cool I am).

Just as a little taster, the plot is as follows: After yet another preventable forest fire, the CEO of California’s largest energy monopoly is found murdered in Stockton, and only Jake and Issa can find the real killer. Sounds good, right?! Anyhoo, in order to celebrate I’ll be doing a whole bunch of events! Here’s a list with more to come, I hope to see you soon!!!

Vintage Faire in Modesto

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!!!

Talking Structure at The Haggin Museum

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.
