JOY, PA book launch party!
Please join me on Saturday, February 21st, in celebrating the release of my new novel Joy, PA, at Webster's Bookstore and Cafe, from 3:00 pm until 5:30ish. There'll be cool music, a strange cake, and a brief reading at 4pm. Peace.
JOY, PA (a novel)
A darkly insightful evocation of the post-industrial era, Joy, PA tells the story of a family teetering on the precipice of ruin. The Augenbaughs live in a broken and decaying town where the last vestiges of country-club wealth run up against the terrible realities of working-class poverty. Abigail, a fervent believer in the apocalyptic teachings of a radio preacher, is desperate to save her son from Judgment Day as she readies herself for the Rapture—due to arrive in just a few days.
A good nod from across the pond.
The London Telegraph has deemed The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break one of the 10 best food-and-drink books “of all time.” I’m in excellent company. Here’s the link:

Coming Soon(ish)…
I’ve just accepted an offer from Audible.com for an audio edition of my third novel, The Locktender’s House. Details forthcoming…eventually.
I’ve updated the Art Page with a gallery, for my new painting series: Knew Testament. The next phase will take (an indefinite number of) months. My intention is to write a novel in the meantime.
