Greetings, my friends. It’s 2018, and the world has yet to be taken over by robots or hyper-intelligent super monkeys so, in accordance with prophesy, I’m launching my new author’s site.

Actually, “launching” might be the wrong word. The site has been up for a few weeks now in sort of a clunky, under construction, you-should-probably-call-before-you-drop-by stage. I suppose I could’ve finished it earlier but several things got in the way, including the return of the McRib, and the fact that I have the approximate working speed of a narcoleptic sloth.

But mostly I blame the calendar. Well, not so much the calendar as the calendar makers who, under cover of darkness, removed several months from last year. I’m sure of this, because there’s no possible way it could be January already. Not when I still have half a grocery bag of uneaten Reese’s Halloween pumpkins under my pillow.

Anyway, the good news is that April is right around the corner, which is when we’re releasing The Unflushables. The bad news? April is right around the corner. This means I’ve got three short months to take care of thirty million critical / urgent / brain-exploding things, all of which are much harder to do from my present curled-up fetal position on the floor.

Where are those super monkeys when you need them?

But the absolute biggest thing on my plate is getting in touch with you guys, which is something I’ve wanted to do for a long while, and this site makes that a lot easier. I hope you’ll check in from time to time and let me know what’s on your mind. I’ll do my best to keep you posted on what’s happening with the book, and what’s coming next, and anything else that pops into my head and refuses to leave.

If you’re interested, you can get email notifications about new posts by clicking the FOLLOW button on the right. I’ll also be announcing updates on social media, so if you’d like to follow me on Twitter, go here.

Or if you’re more of a Facebook person, go here.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out the new place. There’s more to come, but in the meantime, feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think. Oh, and if you happen to come across those missing months from 2017, just send them my way… I think I’m going to need them.
