Writer: New novel STREETS OF NASHVILLE available now; GABRIEL'S SONGBOOK (a novel, 2017) and A TWILIGHT REEL (stories, 2021); songwriter, with songs recorded by Glen Campbell and Gary Morris a long, long time ago.
Today Mark Powell came down to ETSU for a writer event and lunch with us, and I had the opportunity to thank him in person for these generous words about AVALON MOON, set for release 19 May 2026. I'll keep posting other good stuff (weekly-ish) about the novel as we approach pre-order season.

Here’s what’s next. With STREETS OF NASHVILLE (the book) six months old, AVALON MOON in the pipeline for May 2026, JACOB’S LIMP (working title) is at the halfway point of the first draft. At almost 67, I ain’t got time to slow down. Still having fun!

I set aside 7 copies of STREETS OF NASHVILLE for a Goodreads giveaway, hoping that at least 7 people would enter. I got the results yesterday. Over 5,000 people entered, and close to that number shelved it as "Want to Read"!

I was listening to a Tony Hillerman audiobook on Spotify, when Audible apparently got jealous and sent me a notification.
