Not Dead Yet…

Hi folks, I’m still here! Been in the woodshed smashing pulp and traveling. I’ll be starting two mentorships very soon.

David Hay and 1 other person liked Jo Kaplan's review of The Butcher of Nazareth: "A wholly original banger with prose sharper than the Butcher's blade. The personal is deftly blended with the apocalyptic, and sincerity and blasphemy walk hand in hand. I loved it."

David Hay and 1 other person liked Peter Rosch's review of The Butcher of Nazareth: "Sometimes a novel comes along that sits almost too comfortably within its decade’s zeitgeist.
