Well, hello there!

I certainly didn’t expect about five years to pass between posting. But, fulltime work, a lot of life stuff, and other projects have taken center stage. Mostly, I’ve been posting on my other site, tatteredpage.com, (though not posting nearly enough there, either.)

The Mournful Threads came out in the fall of 2024, and since then I’ve been at work on my next project, titled Beneath the Farlight Sky.

The story is set in 1914, where Johnny Jennings, a 21-year-old first baseman, joins his new semi-pro team in Thornville, Illinois with the hopes of making it to the Major Leagues one day soon. He just needs his shot. But he soon discovers his new team, the small farming town he lives in and his curmudgeon of a manager are not what they were cracked up to be. Everyone on the hard-working, heavy-drinking team is rude and off-putting, and tightlipped about a huge game at the end of the season against a team from a neighboring town. It would seem like your standard small town rivalry game, except for one thing: the town doesn’t exist.

Johnny becomes a key part to the most successful season Thornville has ever had, but the final game looms ahead, where something even stranger than the game of baseball itself is at play.

The manuscript is finished as of today, and hoping to get it out later this spring/summer. Stay tuned!
