I got some good news from Next Stage Press recently. They’re going to publish A Million More to Go, which had a successful reading about 18 months ago at Hyde Park Theatre. The script should be available in the spring, which is great timing because I’ll be partnering with my friends at Jarrott Productions...

Just a quick note to acknowledge that both my kids recently celebrated one-year anniversaries with their significant others.

I wrote a book review! And it’s published on New York’s Across the Margin site. You can read it HERE. Why is this significant? Well, the book recalls a murder about a decade ago which happened in Austin, and it reflects some of the class and prejudice issues we have in the city. Beyond...

We had a fun night on Saturday the 17th, showcasing new and evolving works by a trio of local writers. A good, really enthusiastic crowd showed up – and the performances were well done and varied. The feedback we got was to do more of this kind of thing. It’s nice because the event...

I purposely took a break from softball this year, in part because there wasn’t a good spot for me on the team, and I would have had to play with a different, new team. But also in part because I wanted to focus on other things like writing. The break was kind of nice,...
