I’m not sure if I can announce why I’ll be coming down to Portland in October yet, so let’s just say I’ll be there. News will be forthcoming, shortly, I think. It has to do with The Right & the Real. By the way, I see that Powell’s...

Check out my new book boots! Whenever I sell a book, or launch a book, or really, any chance I can, I get new boots. These are especially cool because they’re only new to me (trying not to buy any new leather these days). I got them on ebay for a great...

Like many writers, I have a tendency to work things into my books which are important to me. In The Right & the Real, both coffee and chocolate play an important role in the book…coffee, more-so, but chocolate makes an appearance. While I was writing the...

I’m a big proponent of reading to/with your kids, but I also think singing is something great to do with them. When I was little, my mum used to play folk songs around the piano and my brother and I would sing with her. For your viewing pleasure…this dad...

Writing the dedication is a special part of the book. I’ve heard writers say you should never dedicate it to a spouse or friend because things change. Well, that may be true for some people, but over a year ago, when I wrote the dedication for The Right &...
