Welcome to the newly revamped web site!

Greetings!

Welcome to the new web site. I hope you like it. On here, you will find all the latest news about the upcoming books, events, and more.

The new novel, Saving Magdalene, is due to be released shortly. It will be available for the Kindle, as well as in paperback.

New editions of my first two books, Deep Autumn and I See No Angels are due to be re-released later this year, both in paperback and Kindle editions.

A fourth book, Sweater Girl and Other Tales of Mondauk County, will most likely come out with the re-releases.

This blog, the Mondauk Common, will address books (mine and others), writing, and music, plus movies, politics, and much more. It's sure to be a wild wide, so hang on.

In the meantime, for no reason except that he looks cool, here is a photograph of my good buddy, Søren Kent.

Drawings on Links Page

The three drawings on the Links page are by my friend, Margaux Kent. She drew them for the first edition of my second book, I See No Angels, which consists of three novellas, one for Limbo, one for Purgatory, and one for Hell. Margaux created the cover art, then drew these three pieces (featured in the first edition only) to accompany each novella.

Margaux and her husband Walter have a great business where they create unique objects made from found material. Visit their web site at Peg and Awl.

This is my favorite photograph of Margaux in New Orleans (1999) with either Dominique or Vesta. (I forget!)

The Christian Right and Governor Corbett’s rectum

This week, on a conservative radio show, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett, Republican, defended his comments in support of the mandatory ultrasound bill, claiming that he said nothing derogatory.

How's this for derogatory? A year ago, Corbett told Pennsylvania women to just close their eyes if they didn’t like the invasive procedure.

The Christian Right make me sick. How about someone stick something up Corbett's rectum, something he doesn't want up there, and tell him, “hush, hush – this is what Jesus wants,” if he dares complain?

Makes think of a line from the film Hannah and Her Sisters: “If Jesus came back and saw what was going on in his name, he'd never stop throwing up.”
