Well, friends, I haven’t been tending to my Squarespace garden very much in recent months. But I have reasons. Plenty of reasons.
Reason 1: This fall, Ruby Violet Publishers will publish my novel A Walker in the Evening, an English-style gothic story tied to a Ukrainian village in the early 1900s. I am so thrilled and honored that this is happening!
Reason 2: I’ve been hard at work with the creation of my account on Medium, where I’m regularly posting about books, the writing life, and my experiences on the road to publishing the novel. Check it out here.
Reason 3: I also wrote the introduction to the forthcoming Last Days of Summer by Hugh Holland from Chronicle Books. It’s a wonderful archive of old skateboard photography that gave me a chance to wax nostalgically on being a kid with a cheap skateboard growing up in the 1970s. Check it out here.
Reason 4: My day job.
Reason 5: Life in general.
Reason 6: Need time to watch A Gentleman in Moscow, The Boys, and House of the Dragon.
So … for anyone out there who is keeping track, this modest post is just to announce that I’ll be returning to more regular posts here in the weeks and months ahead. I’ve also got plenty of website sweeping, dusting, and mopping to do since some of the professional information that you see is a tad bit dated.
That’s all for now. More to come soon.
