New book accepted for publication

Great news.  Light Messages Publishing has just accepted my new collection of stories about the ever-changing and always-the-same bond between boys and dads. Titled Climbing Lessons, it will appear alongside my wife’s debut novel, Of Green Stuff Woven, which is an environmental novel written from the perspective of a female Dean overseeing a struggling Episcopal cathedral during devastating floods.  The publisher is intent on releasing these two books together so that Cathleen and I can come to stores, campuses, churches, and book clubs, sharing our different but related perspectives!  Look for the books to appear in early 2020!
