I am very excited to announce that my book The Moving Pictures has been chosen as the October selection for my local library's book club! I am an enormous fan of libraries.

New Book Coming!
As I mentioned in my last post, I have recently completed a new book, which will be the first of a series. I got the initial idea for it a few years ago. Actually, I think it was around 2015, so more than a few years, but it has taken me until now to write … Continue reading New Book Coming!
Back to Posting
It’s been a long time since I have posted anything here. I really have no excuse.

I read them all in quick succession sometime in my early teens and developed a deep affection for them. I recently reread The Big Sleep and it was every … Continue reading The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
This book provided me with the most intense reading experience of my life. I know it is very famous, and most people are introduced to it in school, but when I read it I had never heard of it. I will never forget how I came across it. I was about ten years old, and … Continue reading Lord of the Flies by William Golding
