I was delighted to talk to Michigan native Karen Dybis in Corp! Magazine about my Detroit metro connection. We also discussed why I write, my advice to other writers, and how my book and the first stop on my book tour were part of a long-awaited and complicated homecoming. See the full profile here.
First Dynamite interview
The wonderful critically acclaimed, best-selling novelist Caroline Leavitt interviewed me on her blog. We talked about the “why now” moment that spurred me to write my story, my favorite memoirs about other larger-than-life fathers, and the value of keeping some secrets secret.

My review of The Goat Fish and the Lover’s Knot by Jack Driscoll
One of my favorite writers, Jack Driscoll, has published another short story collection. Happy day! I hope you’ll buy his book and enjoy it as much as I did. Here’s my review in The Nervous Breakdown.
