AMERICAN BONEYARD - My second novel was announced today. This is the second in the Will Specter series. The first was Burn Coast, which came out in 2021. I’m now writing the third Will Specter novel. Boneyard won’t come out till 2027 but that will be a good year for it as we head toward the next presidential election--it’s not at all overtly political, but it gets at the heart of damaged America. Will Specter is in for a lot of s**t, even more than he faced in Burn Coast.

Many thanks to editor Kate Gale and the rest of the crew at Red Hen Press! It was so great meeting many of them the other day. Stoked about getting this novel out there!

And especially thanks to my literary agent, The Jennifer Lyons Literary Agency, LLC!

Some reviews of my first novel:

“Burn Coast is something of an inside-out noir, a
novel that appears to be about a missing person case
but instead becomes an excavation of missing
people: the outcasts and the misfits who have
reached the end of the road. . . it adds up to a
haunted landscape.” -- David L. Ulin, Alta Journal
Alta Journal

“Burn Coast is a rangy, topical thriller that charts
the conflicts that erupt when a region dependent on mom-and-pop pot growers confronts the new world of legal ma*****na and big-bucks, large-scale producers.” -- Peter Fish, San Francisco Chronicle

“I would recommend that anyone else with a w**d novel hold off for at least a year or two, because I can quite confidently say that it won’t be as thorough, thrilling, and true to the cannabis space as Burn Coast. . .an off-the-grid mystery, and like all the best mysteries, it continues to unravel and bloom with each conversation, each clue, until the very last, smoke-filled paragraph. . . the book is overflowing with beautiful language.” -- Cody Lee, High Times
