Fluke
March 11th, 2024 I can say without hyperbole that this book, Fluke, by Brian Klaas, is one of the best I’ve ever read. The problem with reviewing something is that you don’t want to spoil the thing for a potential reader, but you have to say enough to make them feel compelled to read it.Continue reading “Fluke”
New Era
February 6th, 2024 omg. My paperback copies of Sunny Days of Rain arrived today, and I was not joking about its size. My last essay collection was a slim 451 pages, compared to this 824-page giant-sized behemoth. If you would have told me back in 2017 that there would be over 1,200 printed pages ofContinue reading “New Era”
Sunny Days of Rain

The Key

A Dream of Tin & Eternity: They’ll Come True, Impossible Not To Do
December 21st, 2023 One of the taglines I used for A Dream… was: “The sequel to everything, real and imagined.” Anyone who read the book found out exactly what I meant: while I used most of the major characters I’ve introduced in my published stories over the past ten years, they shared the stage withContinue reading “A Dream of Tin & Eternity: They’ll Come True, Impossible Not To Do”
A Dream of Tin & Eternity: Change, or Die
December 12th, 2023 On Saturday, I celebrated a sobriety milestone, but it was also another anniversary: I released A Dream of Tin & Eternity exactly a year ago, on December 9th, 2022. I joked (kind of) that I wanted December 9th to be more than just a reminder of what a piece of shit IContinue reading “A Dream of Tin & Eternity: Change, or Die”
SKP 2023: A Dream of Tin & Eternity
December 1st, 2023 “Imagine that all of my books are ski hills,” I’ve said to hundreds of curious readers, intrigued by the silver & orange, candy cane cover of A Dream of Tin & Eternity. “This one is my double black diamond.” I wanted to write something to celebrate ten years of publishing; a storyContinue reading “SKP 2023: A Dream of Tin & Eternity”
Push: But you really need to listen to me, because I’m telling you the truth, I mean this, I’m okay! (Trust me.)
November 28th, 2023 “I am not fine. I don’t know how to tell people that, but I’m not. I also don’t see the benefit in being honest about it, because I don’t see a way that it will help me feel fine. If everyone knew how to feel that way, then we just would, wouldn’tContinue reading “Push: But you really need to listen to me, because I’m telling you the truth, I mean this, I’m okay! (Trust me.)”
