"Last Door" Excerpt

Brendan waited in the back seat while his stepmother went into the store. A few minutes later, Holly returned. She put her drink in the cup holder and peeled back the wrapper from a Caramello candy bar. Over the back seat, a young child’s voice spoke out.
“I like Cawamello, too.”
Holly froze with bewilderment. She looked in the rear view mirror, back at Brendan. He had his index finger hooked half way in his mouth. She turned around to face him.
“What did you say?” she asked.
In a little child’s voice, Brendan repeated, “I like Cawamello too.” He blinked his wide-open eyes.
Holly paused, dumbfounded, and bit the inside of her bottom lip. Then, she boldly acted on her hunch.
“What is your name?”
The reply was innocent and direct, “Tommy.”
Holly suddenly felt sucked in to a vortex of confusion. She struggled to grasp at reality, but, instead, she was enveloped in a nebulous mass of the illogical.

SoCo Book Fest

The book fest in Santa Rosa was awesome. A man dressed as Baudelaire's "Fleur de Mal" came by my space every 40 minutes for "sustenence" (free candy). I learned a new term for multiples, "Trans Charactered" (hmmm). Sold lots of books and met a lot of cool readers and writers. Oh, and I met a savant man who discussed way-over-my-head mathmatical theories. It hurt my brain and stimulated it at the same time. He was super weird-cool-radically brilliant.

I took side trips in the area to Bodega Bay and Petaluma to the heirloom "Seed Bank," located in a super old bank building. Fun trip!

Operation Ebook Drop for the Troops

Apparently, downtime can get pretty boring when soldiers are deployed overseas, and it's not very convenient to carry around 50 books.

This is a brand new program that gets free ebooks to soldiers overseas. As a participating author, I've already received some cool letters of appreciation from soldiers thankful to have some literary escapism while deployed.

If you know an author or a U.S. soldier who might be interested in this program, check out the article below which outlines the details.
