Latest Pictures from Texas
Posted in The Kitchen Sink on Tue, June 08, 2010
I’m in Texas researching my next book. It involves a Texas Ranger. No, not the baseball player. The law enforcement kind. I came out here, met a retired Ranger named Brantley Foster and he arranged it so I could play cowboy for a day. I did. It’s official. After forty years of life on this planet, I’m finally a cowboy.
Well, okay...sort of.
Review on ‘The Mountain Between Us’
Posted in Press Reviews on Tue, June 08, 2010
I’m sitting in Music City Texas. One of the cooler venues, if not THE, coolest venue I’ve ever spoken in. I’ve got an hour to work so I’m making notes on another novel while I have time. When I get pictures of tonight’s event at Music City, I’ll post them. Right now, I’m reading reviews. This one got to me. I read stuff like this and scratch my head.

A Song Inspired By My Book
Posted in The Kitchen Sink on Thu, May 27, 2010
I received an email today from a singer/songwriter in Phoenix, AZ. Ginger Tabot. She told me she’d read my last book, “Where the River Ends” and that it had inspired her to write a song which she has now recorded on her latest album, or cd, or whatever we’re calling them these days. How cool is that! I wrote her back and told her that I have the musical talent of a green bean so to think that my work actually inspired someone with talent is more than I can fathom. The song is called, “When the River Flows.” Listen here.

Latest Pictures from the Black Mountain Crest Trail
Posted in Book Research on Mon, May 24, 2010
In honor of the book release in a week and a half, I returned, this past weekend, with three friends to hike the Black Mountain Crest Trail. It’s one of my favorite places and, to a great extent, where my imagination began thinking about what has since become ‘The Mountain Between Us.” See the pictures here.
