Hello, and thanks for stopping by my site! I hope you’ve enjoyed my first novel, The Lincoln Moon, which was as released in September 2020 and is now available through bookstores, Amazon and Audible. Recently, I’ve been contacted by book club readers who ask if I have a discussion guide for The Lincoln Moon. To be honest, that had actually never occurred to me. In lieu of that, however, I am available to participate (virtually) with your book club’s discussion via Zoom or FaceTime. It’s been a great experience. I’ve met a range of readers from across the country and from all walks of life. So if this something that interests you, please feel free to contact me through my email to book a time I can chat with your group!

The pandemic, family matters, and a busy travel schedul) have cut into my writing time, but I am plugging away at  my next novel, so please “stay tuned!’ If you liked my first attempt, please sign up to my mailing list so we can be in touch

Happy Reading!

Michael
