I was approached by the lovely Melissa of Literary Book Gifts regarding merchandising. This is an idea I have been toying around with for some time, and planned to address in time for the (impending!) release of In Numina. While ultimately my designs were not something that gelled with the Literary Book Gifts’ style, there was one decidedly […]

Ancient Maps (a fetish)
I need to confess. I have a fetish for ancient maps. (Yeah, I know, shocking). I remember some that my father had hanging in the den, and I always loved looking at them. Given the subject period for Felix, I doubt you’ll be surprised at the squeals of glee I emitted when I came across […]

In another step towards international fame and fortune, I am proud to announce that Murder In Absentia is now available in Russian! Due to the tireless efforts of a Russian business partner, the novel has been translated, edited, and formatted to fit the Russian ebook market, with a language that should feel native to and […]
State of the Onion
It’s a well kept secret that the end of February marks a time of reflection for yours truly. In (very) ancient Rome this was a time of purification (februum), following which the new year began in Martial vigor. Now it’s just time for cake (because cake). While my cake might have, err, other Roman numerals […]

While it isn’t quite ready open its doors for general submissions, there are opportunities that one just cannot pass by. These past few weeks I have had the pleasure of playing publisher for another author. As with everything to do […]
Happy Saturnalia! A year in review
Happy mid-winter (mid-summer) to all! While northern-hemispherers are stuffing themselves with last harvest’s preserves, and sourthern-hemispherers are chucking another shrimp on the barbie in the languid heat, I thought I’d offer a review of the year that passed and the year to come, at least as it pertains to Felix and his adventures. I started […]
A break: The important things
Thanks for everyone who had inquired after my health – I’m alive and well. I’m taking a break from social media. I have been spending far too much time on various platforms, which was detracting from my life elsewhere. I have decided to step back and focus on the important things in my life: family, […]
Free Unicorn!
In another Achievement Unlocked moment, Murder In Absentia has reached 100 reviews on Amazon! According to urban legend, Amazon will now send me a free unicorn, so I can impersonate Marcus Aurelius… I might need to grow a beard though. And probably not hold my breath… But on the plus side, this is an absolutely, […]
The Work In Progress
Just a few words about the current work-in-progress, In Numina. If you’d like to learn more about Felix’s next big case – and this one is very much in the limelight – you should head over to Errin Krystal’s blog. Errin was kind enough to interview me, and instead of answering about Murder In Absentia as […]
