My dad spent his career writing about the American West he loved. My kids wanted books about dragons.
So my first book, Dub and the Dragon, is a family affair: a girl and her brother on the frontier find a baby dragon and protect him from outlaws. For readers 9–12.
A lot of debate out there on the Star Wars prequels. I’m an older millennial still obsessed with Star Wars in my 40s. I consume the books, the games (screen and tabletop), everything. I’m a simple soul and have one criterion: was it fun? And, despite their flaws, the prequels were fun.
Just when I’m tempted by my generous nature to give politicians the benefit of the doubt, this happens.
“If you trust in yourself and believe in your dreams and follow your star you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”

Everyone blames screens for the decline of reading.
Nobody blames the consolidated corporate publishing industry that made books pricier, more generic, and harder to find. jacobin.com/2026/10/books-pu…
There’s a weird synergy about objective value among the four very different books I’m reading this week:
Empire of Liberty, Gordon Wood (early US history)
The Abolition of Man, CS Lewis (moral philosophy)
Protocols, Andrew Huberman (health)
A Parade of Horribles, Matt Dinniman (LitRPG)
I generally don’t like weaponizing scripture to validate political views, but it is funny that many who do so forget that the Bible repeatedly uses the figure of the tax collector as an archetype of the worst type of scum imaginable.
