We lost our almost 16-year-old dachshund yesterday. We adopted Oscar when he was 10. He was a good boy, but, like all dachshunds, quirky and funny. On Sunday, he became quite suddenly, inexplicably ill. Our vet said it was time. Run free, good boy.

Thanks for the lovely review, Yvette! Still Doing Time is a good book to read during baseball season, even though it's not all about baseball!

If you like baseball and a little intrigue, you might like my latest novel, "Still Doing Time." #Booksky Available as paperback and eBook, and soon, as an AUDIOBOOK! bit.ly/4l7Iyrf

I made Irish soda bread today to celebrate St. Patrick's day...

Just learned that my latest novel, "Still Doing Time," was selected as the winner of the Contemporary Fiction--Realistic Fiction in the 2025 International Impact Book Awards! It will be recognized as part of the organization's gala in July, to be held in Tucson, Arizona.

In Montreal celebrating #FolkAlliance2025 with about 900 of my closest friends! The amazing #AllisonRussell gave the keynote.

Well, then, here's Oscar! Fifteen years old!

Finally going home from Michigan, after A FEW BUMPS with @southwestair.bsky.social, whose customer service dept. wasn't very helpful yesterday (which is when I was SUPPOSED to go). This is a reference to my novel of the same name!

Last year, I published a Christmas-themed book (well, at least it starts out thT way!) that would make a great holiday gift. Hope you!ll check it out!

If you're looking for a good read for a holiday gift--check out my latest novel, "Still Doing Time." It's not all about baseball, but it has some baseball in it. A little intrigue, a little trip around Boston in 1976, a little social justice...You decide. bit.ly/4g1eyu4

If you're looking for a holiday gift, you might want to consider A FEW BUMPS, which starts out at Christmas time in Kansas City, but evolves into a lot more. It's my second novel. (My third one isn't about Christmas...)

Normally I post about my own books, but yesterday I discovered an amazing book that would make a great holiday gift, especially for people who have lost someone this past year. Learn more at armaturepublishing.com.

My third novel, "Still Doing Time," is available now! Jimmy Bailey, former minor-league baseball player, gets out of prison after serving time for a crime he didn't commit. As he tries to get his life together, he's surprised at what he finds. Available at bookshop.org.
