Interview with Geeks of Doom.
I’ve been interviewed over at Geeks of Doom, where we cover insight into the writing process, my published work, and nature.
It’s a rather candid interview. You can check it out at this link.
In remembrance.
I had a jam-packed couple of days recently. Had a gig west of the divide and camped out. On the way home, I ventured into the remote northern Bitterroots to release my grandmother’s ashes.
I ended up getting lost up at 6k during a wicked storm on my way to find a hidden lake. Trees were cracking and teetering, debris swirled in the air. Then the storm cleared as if it was never there, and a rainbow appeared over the wilderness. A few minutes later I found the lake, and spread the ashes in the largest wilderness ecosystem in the lower 48, right on the Idaho/Montana border in sub-alpine country still rimmed with snowfields. I could hear a waterfall crashing into the lake as I spread the ashes.
My grandmother was amazingly strong and independent…a centering force. I looked up to her that way, and I hope it rubbed off on me.
Thanks for everything, grandma.
Update, concepts.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted an update, but there’s a lot going on.
My latest dark thriller (I’d tell you the title, but it’s still early) is out on submission with my agent. This should be interesting, as the concept is really cool. I came up with it on a drive from Missoula to Big Timber, Montana. Along the way, I passed a defunct (and toxic) smelter stack. The imposing loneliness of the stack framed the grey mountains behind it. And just like that, the concept trickled into my head organically.
The best ones always do.
I also have several projects out with producers (including my most popular novel). There’s always something. And look for an extensive interview soon on Geeks of Doom.
Hope everyone is well.

Springtime in Montana, with bison and flowers.
I was lucky to get out into the Montana mountains a few days ago. This image was the result. There is no place in the world more beautiful than Montana in spring.
