Ratings/reviews are always appreciated. Mystical Greenwood reached 50 ratings on Amazon US last month! If you already have read and reviewed one of my works, and enjoyed it, please recommend it to a friend!
As it’s also Read Across America Day, I encourage all, not just my fellow Americans, to find the joy in reading and share it with as many people as you can, especially the young.
P.S. If you’re interested in opportunities for giving a writing presentation or workshop, submissions are open for the Maryland Writers’ Conference 2025.

Inscribed #6
Happy New Year! To kick it off, I thought I’d share my latest additions to the inscribed collection.
At Balticon last year, I acquired Wolf Dawn by Amy Kaplan, We Are Satellites by Sarah Pinsker, and Dauntless by Jack Campbell.
At the 2024 Maryland Writers’ Brain to Bookshelf conference, I got Bullet in the Chamber by John DeDakis inscribed and bought his book Fake, along with The Belt by Dale E. Lehman, Awakenings by Edward Swing, and The 90s Club and the Hidden Staircase by Eileen Haavik McIntire. I won Unveiling Motherhood by Stephania Thompson in a drawing. I also bought Michael J. Dodd’s novel, Suicide Run to Archangel, at the conference, but I got it inscribed at last month’s open mic.
I received The Dragons of Dorcastle from Jack Campbell when he came to present at the Annapolis chapter of the Maryland Writers’ Association last November.
Be sure to check out previous inscribed books:
