My newsletter goes out every 29 ½ days. It ranges widely, across books and media and modern life, and I always try to make it feel like a note from a friend.

I’ve pub­lished a lot of mate­rial across a few dif­ferent internet eras. Here’s a direc­tory of what’s avail­able on this web­site and elsewhere.

This web­site was most recently updated on January 16, 2025.

If you’re here because you are curious about my writing and/or thinking, I encourage you to start with my novels. They’re avail­able wher­ever books can be pur­chased or borrowed. The audio­book edi­tions are great, too.

Thanks for stopping by!
