More Poetry!

You’re probably all sick of it by now, but yes, this is another poem from my upcoming collection, set to be released later this year. This book of poetry is pushing back the completion of my next novel, although it’s been going much slower than Learning to Fly did. Which you should totally buy if you’re sick of reading […]

Nature’s Language

My book of poetry is coming along much better than my new YA novel. Ironic? I’m not sure. Odd? Definitely. Regardless, I finished one poem this morning (bear in mind these are all rough drafts I’m sharing with you) that I’m rather fond of. This book of poetry contains the central theme of love, but […]

Acceptance

I’m not exactly sure where this post is headed, but I feel the need to write something, so here’s something.

(But don’t worry, I am working on a new YA novel, which should be done by January!) The collection of poetry […]

Making a Difference

In a society increasingly obsessed with what’s most eye-catching on social media, the small acts of kindness that aren’t ostentatious go criminally unnoticed. You’re far less likely to tweet […]

Podcast Interview – Jedi and J.E.R.M.S

The fine folks over at the Jedi & J.E.R.M.S. podcast were kind enough to have me on their show last night. I’m a local sportswriter (covering the Utah Jazz here in the Salt Lake City area) and they brought me on to talk about the upcoming Utah Jazz NBA season, as well as the release […]
