What's New: Hello, friends. Please accept my apology for leaving this site dormant for months. I dug a hole and crawled in, but now I'm out. Failure is part of every artistic life--every life, period--a truism that hit home when my "finished" novel hit the skids. It's now abandoned, possibly forever. The good news: another book took up that big yawning space, a memoir (my first nonfiction) with the working title Dad Died: The Story of a Family, a Town, and a Time, set in Mexico, Maine, the mill town where I grew up. The book began as an essay, which you can read here, part of an anthology called A Place Called Maine: 24 Writers on the Maine Experience. I'm writing this really fast (for me), which is no small mitigation after the distress of the ditched novel. Speaking of novels, Any Bitter Thing is still chugging along, thanks to book clubs all over the place. If you're in one of them--thank you!
