Home Welcome to the site. Come on in and look around. The NEWS page of this site will keep you abreast of book signings, appearances, publications and other noteworthy events. Each of my five published novels has its own page, where you can read reviews and/or excerpts. Another page is devoted to my as-yet unpublished work. 2007 marked the 40th anniversary of the baseball season that made me a Red Sox fan and forms the basis of my 2001 novel, Tartabull's Throw. An excerpt from this book recently appeared in Further Fenway Fiction, an anthology published by Rounder Books. The paperback edition of Tartabull's Throw is still in print; first-edition hardcovers are available from the author. "Beanball," an excerpt from a science fiction novel in progress, will appear in the third volume of the series, Final Fenway Fiction, due out in 2009. When people ask me what Tartabull's Throw is about, I reply: "It's a baseball werewolf time-travel coming-of-age love story." In other words, five genres rolled into one. I've always loved to play with the concept of genre. My first novel, Moondog, is a werewolf whodunit. While I think this makes my books fun to read, it drives booksellers crazy. They don't know where to put me on the shelves. Tartabull's Throw was released as a young adult novel, but the subject material is adult; the book was written to appeal to those who remember the 1967 pennant race, as well as younger readers who can appreciate the mythology. Of all my books, only My Father the Werewolf is primarily aimed at young adults, and only at the insistence of the publisher, who dropped much of the satire along with my original title: My Father was a Corporate Werewolf. Now I'm getting back to what I do best: story-driven fiction that stretches the boundaries of genre and provides a few laughs and a few thoughtful moments along the way. Additionally, I'm writing a fair amount of nonfiction these days. See the NEWS and LINKS pages for magazine articles and other stuff. Thanks for visiting the site.
