My first novel,
January’s
Paradigm, was published by Minerva Press, London, England. Current
Entertainment Monthly in Ann Arbor, Michigan,
wrote of January’s Paradigm, “(readers) will not be able to put it down.” I have two other novels
based on the Joe January character, One Hot January and January’s Thaw. Both have been picked up by Second
Wind Publishing.
In 2008 I completed
Backstop: A Baseball Love Story
in Nine Innings, which is now available from Second Wind Publishing, as well as from Amazon in both book and Kindle formats.
Chaotic Theory, a novella that explores the conjecture of how the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil might result in a tornado
in Texas, is forthcoming; stay tuned for details. I
recently completed my fifth novel, The Cobb Legacy, a murder mystery that spans two centuries written around baseball legend, Ty Cobb, and the shooting death
of his father by his mother. Death is considered a universal ideal in fiction writing, so you’ll want to check out my
latest project, A Retrospect
in Death, which I started just a few months ago and hope to complete by next spring.
My fiction and essays appear in various online and print publications, including Cezanne’s
Carrot, Saucy Vox, River
Walk Journal, 63
Channels,
The
Writers Post Journal,
Redbridge Review, and Blood
and Thunder: Musings on the Art of Medicine. I am also a contributing writer to Impact
Times and am cofounder of The
Smoking Poet. My sports writing can be found at Bleacher
Report.
