Facebook, Montana, writing.

Hey folks. So, my Facebook page seems to be taking on a life of its own. Over the years, I’ve come to realize that social media is its own art form, just like writing is, or photography. And it’s best to respect that, and not just use it as a place just to slap up your book covers 24/7.

I’ve been invited to Facebook’s fan subscription program. This is a feature where fans can sign up to receive excusive content. You can sign up here.

On the writing front, I’m working hard on a new novel and screenplay. I was supposed to move to the west coast, but I like the fact that gyms (amongst other things) are open here, so I’m in a holding pattern. I love Montana, and don’t really want to leave but honestly it’s been paradise. And I’d like to get my head buried in my laptop for several new novels.

A snippet from my short story “Fletcher’s Mountains” from my collection, “The Gloaming”:

Fletcher had seen wolf packs disappear between robust trunks of aspen and pine. He’d seen rare grizzly bears amble into bogs. He once watched Enders climb a ridge as if assisted by wings. He’d vanished over the crest like it was nothing.

The watch stopped.

Fletcher looked up from the stove, gazing upon the forest. So still. Much of the world is now, too. Winter has a way of making you see right. The icy crust under the snow squeezes the earth clean. We’ve needed that for a long time now, he supposed.

Enders always knew that.”

It’s Black Friday. I wrote a novel about that.

Well, since it’s Black Friday, I’m obligated to post this, haha. And this little novel is proving to be one of my post popular works. I really did put a ton of work into this, and thoroughly enjoyed writing the first draft.

I hope you all have been having a great Thanksgiving week.

You can order a paperback of Black Friday from an independent book store in my “home base” town of Missoula here. Or you can order the Ebook here.

Social media update, bald eagle in Montana.

Hey everyone. Recently, Facebook invited me to their fan subscription program. You can sign up here.

In addition, I also have an active Instagram account. Check it out here.

One of my favorite things about living in Montana these last six years or so is the incredible wildlife. This bald eagle was filmed on the prairie.
