Happy 2024!

How did you spend your New Year’s Eve? Were you celebrating by shaking bottles of champagne up and spraying them all over everybody within spitting distance while howling at the moon and dancing around naked?

Me neither. Next year, I swear.

I celebrated by taking another look at my career and realizing it wasn’t nearly so bad as I’d thought it was. Yes, I’m still driving for FedEx during the day, but I’m doing a whole ton of other little things that all add up to a lot and make me feel like I’m doing something.

I’m in another show. It’s called Puffs, and it’s basically a spoof of Harry Potter. It’s hilarious, and if anyone is in Connecticut or environs nearby, I highly suggest you check it out. It runs in New Canaan, Feb 16-March 3. The group is called The Town Players of New Canaan. https://tpnc.org/ Nab your tickets now. Only see it if you like to laugh. Like, a lot.

In other news, I’m rejiggering my murder mystery parties, making them more portable, and even working them out so they can take place without me. The result, I’m writing one that will take place on a magnificent ship in the Greek islands. Sadly, I will not be there, but my work will be and it will be awesome. So if you’ve got an itch to put on a one-of-a-kind experience anywhere in the world, drop me a line!

Books! I went ahead and published not one, but two sequels to my awe-inspiring Chronicles of the Deadly Dead series. So now available for purchase on Amazon are Deadly Dead Book 2: Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina and Deadly Dead Book 3: Have Yourself a Merry Little Death. Combined with Deadly Dead Book 1: Death is a Many-Splendered Thing, they make up the Chronicles of the Deadly Dead trilogy, and are totally awesome, hilarious, and creepy!

I know this probably feels like a “Hey, look at me and look at what I’m doing!” sort of blog post. That’s because, well, it is. It’s the new year and I have things I want people to know about. I promise that my next blog post will be more pithy filled with wit and verve and brilliant anecdotes and observations. Maybe I’ll do a Tarot reading online or something. Or strip naked, dance in a circle, howl at the moon, and spray champagne over everyone.

But that post’ll probably be subscription-only.
