February 18th, 2022 I just finished writing Cold World. It’s a whole story. And it’s beautiful, and it’s funny, and it’s action-packed, and it’s heartbreaking. Some people live, and some people die. It’s my love letter to the people who don’t know what to believe in, but they believe in it just the same. NowContinue reading “Never More Alive, Never Closer To Death”

In the meantime, I’ll try to talk about what’s going on behind the scenes, which includes sharing fun stuff like this playlist that is both inspired by and inspiring theContinue reading “Cold World: Official Playlist”
An Aside on Piracy
February 9, 2022 People stealing shit isn’t new. America is full of hypocrisy; the same people who say capitalism works use their cousin’s Netflix password and pirate films they don’t feel they should have to pay for. If you and I went out to eat, and at the end of the meal you suggested weContinue reading “An Aside on Piracy”

Don’t You Forget About Me
January 31st, 2022 Nobody likes to think about it, but at least once a day, someone criticizes you. For every book you adore, film you love, television show you’re obsessed with, work of art that inspires you, there are people out there who will tell you why it is bad. Cynicism, though, is a fad.Continue reading “Don’t You Forget About Me”

What if God was (not) one of us?
January 23rd, 2022 I wrote a little last week about this book, “God Is Not One,” by Stephen Prothero, and now that I’m finished I could not recommend it more. Learning about all the things the world believes in makes you believe in the world more. The book is both expansive and intimate, covering theContinue reading “What if God was (not) one of us?”

Well, okay, here are blanks that represent the letters in the name of my next book. _ _ _Continue reading “_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _”
The Fastest-Growing Religion
January 18th, 2022 God Is Not One has been one of the most enlightening and empowering books I have read. Religion isn’t going away. I’m not a religious person, but I take it as a personal responsibility to learn about the people I live with on this planet. Like most people, I always felt religionContinue reading “The Fastest-Growing Religion”
Dennis Book Club
January 16th, 2022 Today, at work, some of my co-workers, organically, spontaneously, decided to choose one of my books and started a book club around it. It was one of the neatest, sweetest things I have ever, as a writer, watched unfold around me, and I literally did nothing to make it happen. But IContinue reading “Dennis Book Club”
