Research for next book has brought me back home to Northwest Ohio. Looks like they rolled out the red carpet.

I wrote a story about how the shopping mall Santa is evolving during Covid.
I promise it’s the only article you’ll read in which Gilbert Gottfried threatens to stuff a reindeer up your ass.

Since we listened to a podcast about the relationship between the history of the mullet and fake news, I thought’s we’d make things era appropriate.

This is my Citizen Kane.

How do you bake up an argumentative paper? The answer is…gross.

It was Spooky Week at the show because…well, because my son found our Halloween decorations.

People, I may never go back to the old way of teaching college courses.

Friends with kids: I started a website called Junk Drawer Spy Club.

It gives cooped up kids daily craft challenges using stuff around the house. That craft helps fight bad guys in an ongoing storyline.

Give it a shot (maybe give yourself an hour of peace?)

 

This Spring, America’s craziest mascot and I will have something in common. We’ll both be on campus at Western Kentucky University.

I am thrilled to be teaching a fiction writing workshop for WKU’s undergraduate and MFA students.

It promises to be a lot of fun!

It’s sponsored by King Shot Press and Lazy Fascist Press.
