I love the idea of a bookstore selling something you can't get anywhere else. You want a reason to go anyway, but this is a stellar reason.

Someone once pointed me to this Jerry Garcia quote, and it stuck with me: "You don't want to be the best of the best. Try to be the only one who does what you do." That someone was Gavin Newsom of all people.

Diamonds started with promise, Bond on a rampage to find Blofeld for killing Theresa. And then it kinda jokingly "kills" Blofeld within 3 minutes. And then we forget Bond was angry about anything even when we see Blofeld again.

Still love em all.

Wish I coulda been there to say hi. Enjoy PA!

Thanks, Beau! Hey let's turn back the clock and go WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE.

My PA coal region roots showing here, a slacker coming of age tale with gunplay and gore and a dead town and loser dudes who have to get a clue. My first Anthracite County tale. Enjoy!

I wonder what kind of trouble I could get in if I called all the old numbers I remember.

Thanks, Beau. I released two new books this year (so far), the horror novella Bad Tunes and a story collection, Darkness Doubled.

Lotsa nasty in there for those who celebrate. Check em out:

I remember finding Tom Robbins in college, which is the time for a young writer to find him.

Thanks, Gabino. I'll have a new short fiction collection coming in 2026 but lest we forget the one that came out a few months ago!

Darkness Doubled, 16 tales that inspire endless synonyms for WTF dude. Enjoy!
