Ok. Finally. The launch date for Nowhere Home has been set. And it’s really close. Like today. Yes, that’s correct. TODAY! Or, if you’re not reading this moments after I’m posting it, that date is November 24th, 2017. Where can you get it? Right now, your best bet for the paperback is either on Amazon US or Amazon Canada. Independent bookstores can also order it (ISBN 978-1547059324). I’m trying to make it… Read More
I hate to keep doing this to you, but I swear, the publication date for Nowhere Home is getting really close. I’m just waiting for the Kindle Conversion to be complete, and then I will set a date. Hopefully within the next two weeks! To prove it, here are some pictures: The first two are the front and back cover (which very few people have seen at this point!) And here is… Read More

But just because you see no activity here, doesn’t mean I… Read More

I recently put the finishing touches on ‘Nowhere Home’, the revised version is shortened to just 67,600 words. The original ‘Nowhere Home’ was 139,000 words, but it has been sliced and diced into ‘The Forgotten Road’ and the new version of ‘Nowhere Home’. It still feels a little light to… Read More
As promised, the latest edition of The Forgotten Road has been sent to the printers, and you can now read the first two chapters here. I’m already digging back into to Nowhere Home and will begin reworking it soon.
I’ve uploaded a new version of the first chapter of Nowhere Home, making some changes from feedback I received from my submission to the Pacific Northwest Writers Association writing contest. I really like this new version, and am working my way through the rest of the book, applying those lessons. Editing is so much harder than writing in the first place, but now that I’ve been away from the book for a… Read More
