Podcast in the Making
I recently teamed up with podcast producer Kim Selby for a look back at where the passion for writing started and early inspirations. That would be the 80s and early 90s, just over the bridge from Philly. We look at the geography and local culture we grew up with, the books, music, films and experiences that influenced us back then.
The podcast is in development, but we are sharing an episode on my website now, author-treilly.com. The episode is about the gateway drug. The moment when the possibilities for creativity opened up for us. A dinosaur. A relic from a forgotten past. The video store.
And a reminder, there is plenty of free fiction to consume on my re-booted website, more than 76,000 words of my dark and surreal work.
A complete novella
12 short stories (and a few audio versions) the first 7 chapters of my first novel
There is also a section for patrons of the arts who want to help to keep content free for others. Autographed books, links to Amazon, and coming soon literary themed items.

The Grayscale/Overcast Connection
My debut novel Grayscale took years to complete, but was definitely a labor of love. The biggest challenge that I find to completing a work is my interest in the many other stories that are floating in my brain at any given time.
While writing Grayscale, I took many breaks to write short stories, and many of those stories made it into my second work Overcast. A few were written last year, and one was written before Grayscale was even a fully formed concept.
There is a short story in the collection called Porcelain Doll, that won honorable mention at the Philadelphia Writers Conference many moons ago, and was the precursor to Grayscale. If you have read my novel, and you read Porcelain Doll, you will understand that connection.
Other connections – The short story collection Overcast has a similar dark and heavy-hearted mood as my novel. It ends with a similar ambiguity, and a flicker of forward-looking hopefulness.
