Troy Love Story is Out in the Wild!
It has a few year’s of toil and journey, but one of my most treasured books, “Troy Love Story,” is available for purchase at Barnes and Noble, and on Tuesday, August 27th, on Amazon. It’s a story about the overdose death of a cultural leader in the music scene of Troy, New York, a scene […]
Introducing… God!
No, this is not a Lordy Jesus post. This isn’t even about God per se, except that God is a character in the latest manuscript I just finished. Was it hard to make God a character? No. It wasn’t hard. It’s never hard to make a character. It’s just really hard to do it well. […]
Lithium, and Other News
Every time I get on this blog, I make an earnest vow that I’m going to post regularly. And if you go back to the last post, December of 2020, and the post before that, sometime in 2018, you’ll know how good my steadfast vows are. Gas station ground beef patties are more dependable than […]
A New Start
My life as a writer, and as a person, is a never-ending swing dance of great intentions, ferocious energy, big plans, and no follow-through.

And if you’re ever in trouble in Queen County, Virginia, his number beats 911. In Shawn A. Cosby’s debut novel, My Darkest Prayer, we are […]
Gabino Iglesias – Coyote Songs, the Interview
The Frontera is a land of monsters, cringeworthy creatures that sail the rivers and creep upon the desert, terrorize the villagers. They are born of human nature and of super-nature. And in Coyote Songs, author Gabino Iglesias brings the ghosts of the Frontera to life in the most spellbinding way. Coyote Songs follows the groove […]

Presiding Over the Damned – Interview at The Big Thrill
A little while ago, Tim O’Mara sat down with me (digitally) and he had questions. Good questions, all. I tried to answer them to the best of my abilities, but I must confessed, some were real wringers. Without further ado, I am providing the link to the original interview. If the phrase “ripped from today’s […]
