It is with pride and a certain amount of stage fright that I hereby announce my friend and fellow author Melanie Fletcher and myself have returned together in a new podcast called The Writer’s Tavern.

Each episode’s goal is to spotlight a writer and his/her work that we immensely enjoy and wish to share with the world at large … and at the same time have an indecent amount of fun.

You can already subscribe on Spotify, and in the coming weeks it will be available on all the other podcast platforms in the known universe.

It’s hosted by the good folks at Anchor.fm:  The Writer’s Tavern

Scrivener 3.0 for Windows … finally! – The Writer's Tavern

Scrivener 3.0 for Windows is finally out of beta and Jerry has been using it on his gaming laptop, but even though he's having no trouble with the software, he's struggling with his current work in progress. Melanie is struggling with hers, too, for somewhat similar reasons. How about you? How's your current WIP doing? Let's all share and help each other out.

I am happy to announce that on August 1st 2020 my latest novel is out. It’s another comedy fantasy mystery love story, this one set right before the pandemic hit — because that’s when I wrote it — and the main character is a down-on-his-luck tech entrepreneur who lost almost everything in a bad deal and a lawsuit, and decides to reboot his life by opening up a computer repair shop in — for secret reasons of his own — a small Oregon seacoast town.

There he is seduced by a mysterious young witch, and, while on a walk along the ocean one morning, he sees something he knows is impossible.

And yet, there it is.

This leads him into a secret the town has been keeping since the 1970’s, and throws everything he’s ever believed about reality right out the window.

The book is available now on Amazon, and soon at most other major online bookstores — both in print and ebook editions. 

This is a fun little promo video I shot and edited for my buddies at my favorite pub, Cru. And yes, there really will be Butterbeer.
