THIS JUST IN …
Tuckered Out? Not Hardly!
Just when you thought the world has had all the versions of Tucker’s Reckoning it could possibly use (hardcover, e-book, audio files, CD, large print), today, December 3, sees its release in mass-market format (that’s the handy-dandy pocket-size paperback)–just in...
Lowestoft Chronicle: The Winter Issue (and … Me!)
I'm always impressed with the quarterly online literary magazine, Lowestoft Chronicle — it's filled with intriguing fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and interviews. So when Nicholas Litchfield, the man behind the Chronicle, emailed me a while ago asking me for an...
Wagons Ho!
Where have we been? What have we been up to? Good question…. In the past six months we sold our home in Maine and most of our stuff, bought a monster truck (a Ford F250) and a rolling home (an Airstream Flying Cloud with solar panels, Wi-Fi, and room for a...
Calling All Jerks!
My newest book has just been released, and it is one of the most delicious I've had the privilege to research and write. The title alone should explain why: SPEAKING ILL OF THE DEAD: JERKS IN NEW ENGLAND HISTORY. In addition to dishing the dirt on a number of New...
Updates! Get Yer Updates Here!
Despite the fact that I've not chimed in with an update in more than a month, all's well here at Casa Mayo. Quiet in this case equals busy. Lots of books and stories bubbling on the stove, lots of dandy news roasting on the spit. I'll mention just a few tidbits at...
The Before-, During-, and Afterglow….
We made it back from the Southwest largely intact. Though it is entirely possible we left a few empty wine and bourbon bottles bobbing in our wake…. We began our trip in Vegas for a night a couple of weeks ago. We then rambled on out of there just as the Electric...
Hey Baby, You See All Them Lights?
In a few short days, we're headed to the pulsing heart of true American commerce, vice, and villainy. Naw, not Washington, DC (Now why would you think that?). I'm talking Vegas! I've never been, but I hear tell it's chock full of swingers and bandits and lightbulbs...
Reviewed and Interviewed!
Ron Scheer, at his always excellent blog, Buddies in the Saddle, has honored me with a fine, in-depth review of my novel, DEAD MAN'S RANCH. And he followed it up with an interview in which I may or may not reveal secret locations of buried treasure….
Roped & Interviewed
Fellow author, Peacemaker-nominee Tom Rizzo, interviewed me for his "StoryTeller's 7" series. He asked seven questions and I did my level best to sound as though I know what I'm doing (ahem). We touch on a number of themes, from spurs to volcanos and megayachts to...
Tucker’s Reckoning Wins a Spur!
When I checked the mail yesterday, I never imagined I'd find a letter from Western Writers of America (WWA) telling me my novel, TUCKER'S RECKONING, has won the 2013 Spur Award for Best Western Short Novel … but it did! I like this novel a whole lot, so it pleases me...
