Welcome

Hello friends! And welcome to my website/blog.

As you may or may not know, Stalemate: A Clockwerk Thriller is set to go to print here pretty soon. This is my latest (read: very first!) published novel, and I’m pretty damned excited to say the least. Stalemate is the culmination of  several years of work and a lifelong dream; a dream that existed even before I realized what it was. I started this website as a way to tell people about the book (and, subsequently, about myself), but it won’t just be about me and my writing. I plan on sharing and discussing lots of great stuff: from authors I’m reading, to the best graphic novels, to movies and TV, to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, to firearms, to cooking, and maybe even some middle school softball (my kid usually plays third base). Pretty manic, I know. But that’s just the normal, everyday life of a 21st century parent/prior service Marine/writer.

Ok-so lots of stuff just got mentioned above. But in the interest of saving the best for last, I neglected to speak on one very important thing. And that thing is you. The greatest story ever written is nothing without someone to read it. So I’ll be depending on you for feedback (both good and bad), questions, and comments. To put it simply. . .I need y’all’s help. Just as that proverbial greatest story ever written is nothing without someone to read it, an author is nothing without his or her readers.

We’re about to go on a journey, my friends. One I hope you’ll enjoy as much as I know I will. So grab your gear,  get comfortable, and strap in. Oh- and don’t forget to pack yourselves a lunch. We’ll be gone a while, you see. We’ve got entire worlds to explore.

Wishing you all the very best of everything,

Thomas
