A recent story of mine from the great folks at Reckon Review - so honored to have it there. A moody piece about a young musician and the dark forces that powered his muse and rise to the top.

Listen to the questions they shout to politicians including the Orange Dictator - many are inanely dumb and ridiculous. Been embarrassing for years. Now worse than ever. When we need them to be highly credible.

My full review of @meproctor.bsky.social's terrific Catch Me on a Blue Day is up at Goodreads. This is a wonderful character-driven neo-noir crime drama, and Declan Shaw needs a binge-watchable TV series tout suite!

My book came out October 8, 2024. (After 30+ years of writing, a book!)

I've been so grateful to anyone who has read it. I had a little goal of reaching 1000 copies sold (small press goals!), and we're close to that. I hope you'll consider ordering, reading, sharing reviewing on Goodreads, etc.💙

He must be very smart. 🤑

Feel like I need to check the Merriam Webster and see if this is shown under the word "dumb".
Will let you know.
