"The Lousy Adult" Coming Soon to a Bookstore Near You (If There's One Left: "Online Shopping, Anyone?")

So I’ve been neglecting this blog of late, working to finish a first draft of a new novel, one that involves a woman holding a teenage boy hostage, some experimental sex-drug studies, and other various mischief, but advance copies of my new book of stories, The Lousy Adult, have just arrived. Of course I’m tickled pink (like the cover). Two of my all-time favorites are included, “What Happens to Rain?” and “This Whatever We Have.” Most of the stories are set in the West, where there’s always a lonesome train whistle blowin’. Or at least the wind, while a Neil Young song plays in the background.
