Happy Holidays!

I hope you’re all well and save during this far-from-usual Christmas season. From my family to yours, we wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I’m releasing another short story today that will be in my collection due out in early 2021. The story is called “You’re a Meme One.” Yes, the title is a riff on the song “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch.” It’s about a father and daughter who playfully roast each other with memes on Facebook–until things get out of hand at Christmastime. Let me know what you think.

You can find the tale on my Stories page.

Also, my podcast partner Michael and I released our last podcast of King of the Middle for 2020. It has a Christmas theme and is titled “The J Word.” Check it out on Youtube or Anchor.fm.

Lift off!

Hello all! I’m christening this website with the launch of two podcast series this week: my new podcast/vidcast with long time friend and artist Michael Joel Green and a second limited series podcast with Biblical apologetics author and fiction writer Brian Godawa. Look at the Podcasts menu above for more info.

On October 30th, I released a new short story from my forthcoming collection, Undertow. The story is titled Blackface, and tells the tale of a white Jersey teenager who convinces two of his Black buddies to dress up as rappers on Halloween night, 1991. When trouble ensues, the teens are not prepared for the consequences. A pdf/epub version of the story is available under the Stories menu.

I’m also stoked to present you with a new audio drama adaptation of another story in Undertow called Ice Ridge. You can find the link to it under the Audio Dramas menu above.

Finally, keep checking back. I’m going to begin publishing a serialized sci-fi novel on this site called Slipstream. The first story, Champagne Supernova, is undergoing a polish now and will be out soon…so stay tuned!
