March readings! I’m doing them
March is a crazy-busy month - in a good way. Not only do I get to celebrate the day of my birth (Beware the Ides of March!), but I'm also taking part in three great readings toward the latter half of the month. Here's a rundown. I hope to see some of you there! On...
In which the author does a series of interviews
I haven't had the chance to really get out there and talk SILENT CITY much until very recently, and - like these things tend to do - they all seem to have hit at once. I had the pleasure of interacting with some great writers who were willing to take the time to not...

Bringing SILENT CITY back to Miami
Happy New Year! I can't really complain about the frigid NY weather (though, I guess this serves as a passive way of doing so), considering I spent a few weeks in the Florida sun over the holiday break. Lots of stuff happened while I was there, too - including an...
COUNTRY HARDBALL author Steve Weddle on SILENT CITY
I've said before and I will say it again: COUNTRY HARDBALL is a great book. One of the best books I've read this year. Steve Weddle channels the best of Woodrell, Crumley and Carver to create a wonderful narrative pieced together by a series of jarring short stories....
