    I don’t remember how the idea was posed to me. I was six, and it is in the nature of a Mocking Man to collect things. I started with matchbox cars, but there were far too many of these to get them all. Then I moved to books. I wanted books about magic. And I…

    Gonna get through this one as fast as I can. Try to make you understand why Servant is the way he is. Try to show you the most important thing in his young life and how it was taken from him. He doesn’t really want to talk about it. Never has wanted to talk about…

    Uncle Wrath disappeared at some point. Or he was always gone, just slammed the ground of Milwaukee every now and then like lightning, and with him came his storm. The crew Uncle Wrath led was legendary. They were not the Sons of the Devil, they were the Princes. They were a new thing that none…

    I tried. I really tried to leave him out of my story. I wanted to keep his crimes to myself and my wife and the therapist. But Uncle Ball attacked me yesterday. He reached out and tried to hit me as hard as he could. And I would have let it go, but he made…

    And I bow as I step onto the dance floor, and the strings strain, and the bodies around us move. Bodies of abusers and saviors. Rose dances with Olsen, Destiny with Tiger. The music plays, we all twirl, and I take each of the next stories out onto the floor. The waltz is the most…

    Here we are again. In a fantasy book I haven’t published yet, these two young warriors are escaping an enemy, and they approach a bridge, and the leader yells out, “I’m gonna do it again!” The other one says, “You won’t be happy til you get us killed.” And then they both jump over the…

    I released Teardrop Road on June 23, 2021. I think it was a Thursday. It was pretty devastating to put it out in the world on the big stage. Having your secrets on a blog is one thing. The worldwide stage opens up doubts and fears that I expected but could never prepare myself for.…
