Welcome!
THE LATEST AND GREATEST:
Now available: The Snipers
My latest, a short novel set during World War II, is now available! The Snipers tells the story of JL Justus, an American scout/sharpshooter tasked with finding and killing a German sniper during the Battle of Aachen in October 1944. Readers have already praised its pacing, action, authenticity, its shocking twist and surprisingly emotional ending.
You can learn more about The Snipers here.
The Snipers is available in paperback and Kindle editions on Amazon.com.
Part I of The Wælsings’ Revenge is now available!
I’m pleased to have the first part of a three-part alliterative verse epic titled The Wælsings’ Revenge published in the online literary journal Illuminations of the Fantastic. This poem is a hypothetical Anglo-Saxon version of the story of Volsung and Sigmund. Portions of Part III will appear in my forthcoming novel The Wanderer. To read Part I, visit Illuminations here, and be sure to check out the other epic verse projects in the same issue!
Faculty and novelist profile
I’m honored to be the subject of a faculty profile from the college where I teach. They kindly draw attention not only to my work in the classroom but my writing—fiction, non-fiction, and on the blog. Please check out the profile, headlined “PTC Instructor and Author Devouring History One Sense, One Story at a Time,” right here, and take a moment to browse around the school’s website. Grateful to work at a good school with excellent people!
Ian Fleming as craftsman
I’m stirred, not shaken, to have a long-gestating essay on the craftsmanship of James Bond’s creator, Ian Fleming, published at the University Bookman ahead of the release of No Time to Die. Give the essay a read here, and definitely check out the novels that introduced 007 to the world.
