Re-publishing – Bobby’s Socks
I decided to re-edit and republish my first novel, Bobby’s Socks. In the #Metoo era, I mentioned it in the forthcoming novel, A Year inside the Moon. # It should have been a day to remember: in the meadows beyond the school summer camp, Bobby had his first kiss. But when a slung rock shatters his friend Breck’s front teeth, Bobby must be punished… He’ll spend the rest of his life trying to forget Assistant Principal Diabolus and the terrible things that happened Continue Reading
A Year Inside the Moon
At fifty-something, Rob has reached a twilit crossroads. A recent divorcee, he’s fled Houston to settle in St. Petersburg, Florida. Now, peering up at the mockingbird singing in a banyan tree, he wonders whether he could have done things differently. Across the road, The Moon looms. Week after week, as autumn fades into winter into spring, Rob finds himself sat at the cosy bar, watching locals and out-of-towners drift in and out, their spectral lives affording Continue Reading
A Year Inside the Moon – An Excerpt
I thought it would be interesting to share the below excerpt from A Year Inside the Moon. I think this section from the second chapter sets the tone for the story. # Those Crazy Girls It was just past cocktail hour midweek in late September as the sun’s reflections blanketed St. Petersburg in a temporary warm, auburn haze.

A Year Inside the Moon – Chapter 21 – Mothers&Daughters
(Dear Interested Reader, remember, these are my first drafts for the novel, A Year Inside the Moon - this version has some flaws) Mothers & Daughters “You’re a cutie,” she said. She glided her warm hand along my arm and onto my hand. “Buy a girl a drink?” “Thank you,” I said. I shifted the Guinness between us, and I had taken in a full gulp. It was later than my normal nights at The Moon, as I had stayed out to watch the 4th of July fireworks. “Got a name?” She said. She was petite, Continue Reading
A Year Inside the Moon – Chapter 20 – Rainbow Tutus
(Dear interested reader, remember, these are my first drafts for the novel - the entire book was 25 chapters - it’s been sent to the professional editors, so this version has some flaws...) ———————————————————————————————- Rainbow Tutus “I didn’t see that coming,” I said. It had been a late Saturday evening toward the end of June. I quickly walked inside The Moon after I scooted just past the hostess Britany who had been inundated with guests crowded in near her podium. I luckily Continue Reading
A Year Inside The Moon – Chapter 18 – The Fishing Boat Captain
Fishing Boat Captain It was the last Saturday in May, and I had sat in The Moon at the bar watching a college basketball game as I romanced a cold Guinness. “I warned them,” he said. He had a hard-edged expression, but he was not angry. He leaned his hand on the bar. I thought his fingers resembled old tree limbs. “What happened?” Kate asked. She curiously stared up at him. “Usual, Dave? Gin and tonic.” “Yeah, thank you,” Dave said. He was tall, and strong looking for an older man. He stared Continue Reading
