Well, we've kicked off Autumn!
Going to be a busy month. Lots of shows for those of us who write stuff that's spooky and scary.
So today I dropped off a pile of books at Tatnuck Booksellers in Westborough, MA.
We had a great panel presentation at the Braintree Library yesterday, a self-publishing talk to a good-sized, enthusiastic group of listeners.
We even had it recorded, so will post that when it's up.
Our panel was Willie Wideman-Pleasants, me, and MaryBeth McCarthy, who writes as Mdalto.
Well, things move fast in our writing world. Even more news to report, since just a few days ago!
I've got another story selected, for the next Fungi anthology, out later this year.
October will be busy!
I'll be a vendor at Townsend’s Haunted Trail
Saturday, October 7th. 5-9
Noir at the Bar- readings by regional mystery writers
Sunday, Oct 22, 2023, 4-6:30 PM event at Portsmouth's Book and Bar- at 40 Pleasant Street
And a Halloween panel of authors at Tatnuck Booksellers in Westborough.
A 3:30 show on Saturday, Oct 28th.
With fellow authors David Daniel, Kameryn James and JM Taylor.

Together with other good, successful writers, I'm putting together the book 87 Ways to Sell More Books.

And by popular demand (fans repeatedly asking), I'm working on another Zack Taylor novel, the 7th in the series, A Great Reckoning.

Hello again. Lots going on now, and just had a great chat with Nicole Asselin on her podcast.
One thing I've wanted to do for some time is gather a bunch of my recorded interviews and put them in a group on YouTube. So yeah, here's me talking over the years.
