Author of Mickey7, Mal Goes to War, and Three Days in April, among other things. I also make maple syrup.
My youngest son was just named to Audible's top ten list for F&SF 2025 :-)

This is a super fun book, and Barrie Kreinik did an incredible job with the narration. If you haven't yet, you really ought to give it a listen.

If you happen to be in Perry next Sunday, please stop by and say hello :-)

Huh. "Compared favorably to Steinbeck" was not on my bingo card for this year. 😇

If you've been thinking that you'd love to have a copy of my new book, but you've only got 75% of the necessary funds, B&N has you covered for the next four days. Give it a look:

Feburary seems far off right now, but my new book is coming then, and it's officially up for pre-order now. Remember, pre-sales are one way publishers decide which authors get sacrificed every year to ensure a bountiful harvest, so please give it a look:

Just a reminder that I'll be reading stuff in Ithaca on Tuesday night. Stop in to say hello if you're in the neighborhood.

Mark your calendars. 😇

Huge thanks to the good folks at West Newton Cinema for hosting a screening of #Mickey17 with me this evening. I had a great time with the Q&A, and the film is even better the fifth time around. 😇

Bad news: it is now officially too late to preorder THE FOURTH CONSORT.

Good news: it is now possible to regular-order THE FOURTH CONSORT wherever books are sold. 😇

The official release date isn't until Tuesday, but it appears The Fourth Consort has made its way into the wild. 😇

You know what? I think this movie thing might actually be for real.

This right here? This is the heart of the film. #Mickey17

Look what I got :-)

Eyyyy look what I got today! In addition to the snazzy new cover, it's got bonus content in the form of a fun dialogue between me and Director Bong. Should be in bookstores next month.

Tune in on 1/21 to hear about CLUB CONTANGO, Eliane Boey's new banger, and probably some other stuff too.

Next time you're in Palm Springs, check out The Best Bookstore. They have excellent taste. 😇
