Update from the North Country, 2023 version.

Posted on by

Hey guys, it’s been a dang interesting spring so far (and about to be summer). I’ve been bouncing around Montana and the PNW, attending speaking engagements at conventions and also acquiring content for social media and the documentary I’m working on titled “Leaving Montana”.

I had an excellent time speaking at Miscon 37 in Missoula, Montana. There’s hardly a better place to be in the world than western Montana in spring.

In all that, I managed to finish a new novel, a psychological thriller based in Montana. It’s currently on submission with my agent.

I hope you all are having a great warm season. You can find me where the tall, north country forests mingle with hidden waterfalls and lumbering moose.


2022: A Life Altering Year.

Posted on by

Hey guys, I didn’t get a chance up until now to post a 2022 year end wrap up, so here it is.

 I’m sitting here in a hotel room in the Pacific Northwest working on my latest novel. There’s a lot going on. To the point I’m just trying to balance everything the best I can.

In 2022, My Facebook page reached 45 million people. I started that page to post writing and adventure photography a few years back. I’m extremely appreciative of all of you who frequent that page. I am humbled and surprised at what’s happening.

Also in 2022, my debut novel The Puller was published by Pyr and distributed by Simon and Schuster. I actually saw my book on the shelves next to Stephen King books at Barnes and Noble. I was stunned!

In addition, I did a very brief thing on the TV show Yellowstone that qualified me for SAG.

2022 was pretty cool.

I can’t thank you all enough. I have to admit, it’s also been a little weird. When you start accomplishing some of the career things you’ve always wanted to accomplish, you find out real quick who was actually rooting for you and who secretly wasn’t.

And that’s been a revelation. But as always, my eyes are on the big picture. To forge meaningful relationships and to create meaningful art. And to promote kindness and awareness through my writing and photography.

Here’s to a happy, healthy 2023 to all of you!


I’ll be appearing at SpoCon 2022.

Hey guys, I’ll be in Spokane, Washington, at the Historic Davenport Grand Hotel as part of SpoCon 2022, Halloween weekend.

In addition to public speaking engagements, I’ll also be signing my novel “The Puller” at 1pm, October 29, in the Hall of Doges at the Historic Davenport Grand.

It’s shaping up to be one epic Halloween!

There’s a lot going on. I had a great summer and continue to work on new projects, including some surprising ones. Please check out my new non-fiction website, which covers everything other than my fiction (this site will remain the anchor for that).

This photo of me was taken in June in a very cool backcountry lake in Montana. I think it sums up how I feel about this year nicely.

I’ll be speaking and signing at Miscon 36.

Hey guys, just a heads-up: I’ll be speaking at Miscon 36 in beautiful downtown Missoula at the Holiday Inn from May 27th to the 30th. In addition to myself, the talented Charlaine Harris (True Blood) and Isaac C. Singleton Jr. (Deadpool, Mandalorian) will also be speaking.

I’ll be signing copies of my novel the “The Puller” in the lobby from 1 to 2pm on the 28th. Come say hello! This is *the* best place to catch me in Missoula proper other than a certain bar that shall go unnamed, lol. Hope all of you are enjoying spring! I’ll be posting my final speaking schedule shortly.



Yours truly in my element recently in Yellowstone National Park.

The Puller to be an audio CD and audio book in 2022. Also, Barnes and Noble event.

I’m happy to announce that Tantor Media has picked up the rights for The Puller audiobook.

I get many comments about a Puller audiobook. Well, here you go. Worldwide in 2022. Audio cd and whatever else.

I also want to thank everyone who came to The Puller signing event at Barnes and Noble! It was fantastic to see you all in person.

Have a great week!
