THE PULLER release date is Friday the 24th of April. A Puller-related announcement will be made by my agents on Monday the 27th. Also, there are numerous signings and readings planned across Montana and the Pacific Northwest for May, June and July. Looking forward to it.

Expect my debut novel, THE PULLER to be released very soon. Accompanying the release will be additional Puller-related news.

THE PULLER mushroomed from my first speculative fiction story. Initially the piece was only several thousand words, but the story called out to me repeatedly to expand. I’ve been blown away by early feedback so far, and I hope this translates once I release my baby into the wild (maybe the wilds of Michigan’s rugged Upper Peninsula?). I’ve always held this story close to my chest, and it’s going to be hard to let go. But let go I must.

Stay tuned for purchase information, and big news….

As my readers know, occasionally I’ll post wildlife photos here since much of my work contains animals. My debut novel THE PULLER features moose, in a rather creepy way (the poor buggers).

This gigantic moose was filmed in Glacier National Park. He did not have to worry about a stealth creature, only a pesky photographer.

The usually calm lake was choppy, almost like an ocean. I had to position myself flat on my stomach on the rocky shore, with the wind in my face.

The moose was looking right at me.

I was freezing. He didn’t care at all.

Also, be sure to check out my Facebook fan page, which will also contain the latest news as we approach the release date for THE PULLER.

I’ve had great feedback on Geiter so far from initial readers, so I’m excited it’s finally being released into the wild.

Check it out at Perihelion, along with great stories by Rebecca Birch and others.

And yes, THE PULLER news very soon.

By the way, check out the new writing office in Missoula (converted living room). High ceilings are nice when you’re 6’3.

I’m happy to report that my latest short story, “Geiter” has been picked up by Perihelion Science Fiction. “Geiter” features a misunderstood hybrid bear, and explores how herd mentality can cloud judgement.

To be honest, I’ve stopped writing short stories this year in order to focus entirely on novels, but I’m pleased to be back on board with Perihelion, a magazine I truly enjoy.

Also, there will be THE PULLER news soon. The big kind.
