Sunday, October 16th, 2022 from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. at Borgin’s Books in Plymouth, MA. Borgin’s Books is the cutest little bookstore. It even has a witch’s broom hung on the wall! (My kind of place.) And there’s a lovely peek out back into the garden. I’ll have a few copies of my little ChristmasContinue reading “Coming Soon – New Book Signing!”

I had my first book signing last night at Books & Sundry, one of our beautiful new bookstores in Plymouth, and no sooner did I set up than the skies opened up with a monsoon that flooded the street in front of the store! Then came some thunder and lightning. (Granny Lovenanger may have hadContinue reading “Après moi, le déluge!”

My sister just moved to Reno, NV, and today, on my nephew’s birthday, a writer friend (also a Reno resident) sent me this photo of the corner on which her post office stands. A good omen perhaps?

By gum, I’ve done it! My novel, BLOOD WILL OUT (With the Proper Solvent) went live today (June 1, 2022) as an ebook! “What a long, strange trip it’s been!”

I’m sorry that this has been such a lo-o-o-ong time coming, but I finally did it. (I think.) In the next few days my novel should be available as an ebook. I would have e-published it many moons ago, but after weeks that turned into months of struggle trying to retain the fun fonts ofContinue reading “Coming soon! My novel as an ebook. (Whew!)”

All his books are LOLContinue reading “Christopher Moore has done it again!”

How £300,000 was stolen from Jericho WritersI want to make writers (and others) aware of an appalling situation that occurred to one of my favorite and one of the best writing websites I subscribe to: Jericho Writers in the UK. Harry Bingham is a superb writer in his own right, as well as a spot-onContinue reading “Rip-Off on the Highest Level: A Cautionary Tale”

On this day, March 15th, in 2015, one of the world’s funniest writers died–an exceedingly bright, curious mind, a kind and loving heart, and a clear-eyed (yet often righteously angry) view of the world–the late and very great Sir Terry Pratchett. Damn the “embuggerment!” GNU Sir Terry. And in case you’re wondering about the meaningContinue reading “In Memoriam”

If you’re hankering for a hardback copy of my novel, BLOOD WILL OUT (With the Proper Solvent), the new price is $22.95. A steal for over 300 pages of fun and catharsis in a beautiful, laminated cover. Plenty of bang for your buck (including magicked fireworks aimed at culprits).
