Just a reminder this holiday season that you can give the gift that is a relaxing and welcome break from today's headlines. Follow the journey of one person making a lonely way through a world where the lines between life and death are obliterated.

Talking to a librarian friend back home, she mentions a patron looking for help finding a book she liked as a kid. Super common request.

The challenge was to name a non-LOTR character who is good but would get totally messed up by the One Ring.
My mind went in the opposite direction.
This choice, my hero, would have Sauron, himself, lobbing that ring into Mt Doom like a starting pitcher for the Red Sox.

If you're familiar with the central Florida area, this is the most un-mall kind of mall there is. It has a couple of anchor stores, and the rest are small or independent. And they do festivals. On July 12, I'll be selling my novel here and talking about new projects.
