I’m thrilled to share that I will be making my first appearance ever at my local bookstore, Kepler’s Books, on Monday, March 9 from 6:30-8:00 pm as part of their reading series, Story Is the Thing.

Like everyone who has an email account, I receive a lot of spam. But last summer I received a personalized message about my novel Burner that caught my attention.

Recently, I received a very nice email about my debut novel, Bit Flip. It was a detailed and thoughtfully crafted message,

My two worlds of technology and literature feel increasingly on a collision course over the matter of Artificial Intelligence.

Over a decade ago, I hosted a blog about the Green Bay Packers. It was fun. My schtick was to attempt to be humorous, but I did one fully satirical post

It has been quite a month for the Democratic party. After Biden’s disastrous debate performance in which he appeared to be cognitively impaired, subsequent uprising within his own party

The months leading up to the release of a new book are both nerve wracking and gratifying for an author.

This month has featured two marquee match ups between Big Tech behemoths and antitrust enforcers.
