For those who simply can't buy and read enough books by yours truly, here's good news: later this month, Event Horizon Press (now located in Sequim, Washington) will publish a collection of my journalism under the title Stealing Cars With The Pros. The book contains 33 stories (some dating clear back to 1996) that touch … Continue reading Event Horizon Press To Publish ‘Stealing Cars With The Pros,’ A Collection Of My Journalism

Let’s Talk About LSD!
Don't know if any of you noticed, but the Drug War that costs this country billions of dollars and incarcerates many thousands of people–a lot of them non-violent–every year while drug use continues to stay pretty steady as though none of that law enforcement was occurring didn't really come up in that presidential election we … Continue reading Let’s Talk About LSD!
What? I’m Supposed To Work On Another Book?
So yeah. The good people at Event Horizon Press are asking me to do yet another book. Well, two books. They want another Charley Ridgway book, which will take time (simply making up stuff is a lot tougher than I originally thought), but they also want a non-fiction book. Specifically, they're looking for a collection … Continue reading What? I’m Supposed To Work On Another Book?

Here’s The Cover Of My New Maui Novel ‘The Dead Season,’ The Sequel To ‘Small Island’
That's the front cover (and spine) of my new Maui novel, The Dead Season, which will be published shortly by Event Horizon Press. It's all coming together a lot faster than I anticipated, and will be available this year, not next. It's a sequel to my first novel, Small Island, though it's somewhat darker.

Yeah, we’re playing with toys now…
I know this is all very Robot Chicken, but Angie and I found a way to mix our mutual love for Star Wars, papercrafting and general goofiness. The action figures are the cheapest Star Wars characters we could get (when you live on Maui, there are limits to what's available, even online) and the sets … Continue reading Yeah, we’re playing with toys now…
I don’t usually care for Star Wars memes…
... though in this case I'll make an exception, since I actually made this. For all I know someone already beat me to this particular joke, which combines Star Wars with Man vs. Food, but I couldn't find it. So enjoy. Or ignore it, I don't care. I should be working anyway right now, not … Continue reading I don’t usually care for Star Wars memes…

Pontus Alv: a radically refreshing view on skateboarding
Given that I'm now a (beginner) skateboarder, I thought it only prudent to blog about an actual professional skateboarder whose view of skateboarding meshes with my own. His name is Pontus Alv, and he's a Swede who's been building skateparks in Sweden since 2002. I first discovered him in the June issue of Transworld Skateboarding, … Continue reading Pontus Alv: a radically refreshing view on skateboarding
