Shoutout to @jimthomsen.bsky.social for eagle-eye editing on my new novel manuscript/typescript. Jim did great line editing, gave sound feedback on how this sequel to STREETS OF NASHVILLE worked its predecessor, and helped me find 4-5K words to cut.

STREETS OF NASHVILLE is still out there, y'all, and still as good (I think) as the day it was published, 15 April 2025. Check out this great review that just appeared in APPALACHIAN JOURNAL 53.4 (Summer 2026). Special thanks to editor Jessica Cory and, particularly, reviewer Julia Franks!

This Friday the 17th, we'll be hanging out for a couple of hours (4:30 - 6:30) at Penland & Sons Department Store in Marshall, North Carolina. Georgette has copies of AVALON MOON and so much more in the store. Drop by and say hey if you're in town!

Somehow -- until happenstance this morning -- I'd forgotten how awesome Joan Armatrading is. youtu.be/vRAVAw4-EB8?...

If you don't have it, I hope you'll get it. If you get it, I hope you'll read it. If you read it, I hope you enjoy the time you spend in Runion, where something strange is afoot beneath the Avalon Moon!

To anyone who might feel deflated these days, pay heed to Longfellow! 😎

In addition to being Juneteenth, today is the one-month anniversary of AVALON MOON's publication date (5/19). Two traditional gifts are suggested for one-month-old books: 1) if you haven't gotten it, get; 2) if you've read it, post a rating and/or review on Goodreads and/or Amazon. THANKS!!!

Thanks to Malaprop's Bookstore/Cafe for the in-store opportunity to talk about AVALON MOON. Thanks to Andrew K Clark for the terrific questions and comments. Pleased to see Christy Alexander Hallberg there! Afterwards, Leesa and I followed with supper at Botiwalla!

This evening (Tuesday) at 6:00, I'll be at Malaprop's in Asheville with my friend Andrew K. Clark, author of the forthcoming HOLLOW FOLK! Then, on Saturday the 13th, I'll be at Maple Tree Bookshop in Gate City, Virginia, noon until 2:00.
