I just finished final edits for the sequel to The Nameless Prince, The Royal Trinity. It launches in March, and I could not be more excited to share it! I am also currently querying (read: finding a home for) a collection of narrative nonfiction essays titled Jesus Shoes. Most of the above qualifies as follow-up and promotion. Creatively, I have been beyond inspired and write constantly, adding to a collection of short stories titled Far From the Thick of Things. The genre is Magical Realism. In a nutshell:
Far From the Thick of Things
What happens when we stray from the beaten path?
The pages of Far From the Thick of Things drip with incongruous, dreamlike images: a clever trollup braving an earthquake on a London street, a garage sale genie who takes wishes instead of granting them, a destitute theater actress who meets her former self in a dark alley. It’s these absurd juxtapositions—the extraordinary in the ordinary—that reveal the mechanics of the universe, as well as the inner-workings of our own hearts. 83,535-word Far From the Thick of Things uses language itself to reveal the human condition, but only the spaces between can breathe metaphysical truth. Equal parts whimsy and poignancy, this collection of short stories is populated with colorful, diverse characters. We meet them at different stages of life, observing the dots that connect over time, weaving a mysterious tapestry of destiny, free will, and complete randomness. Some of the eccentric characters are cuddly, others prickly and rough around the edges. But all are—like us—redeemable.
