Recommended Reading List: March 2026

Technically, the first thing I finished reading was Anton Chekov’s The Seagull for my theatre history class. I’d read both the play and the short story the first time I was in college 100,000 years ago, and didn’t like them then. I decided to give the dang thing a chance again. Still didn’t like it, […]…

Cover Art

On my Patreon page, I’ve been putting up free posts about the new and improved cover art that we’re doing at WMG. You can find a number of posts, but I thought I’d share this one with you here. (I’ll be sharing the occasional Patreon post throughout 2026 and maybe beyond.) You can sign up […]…

Recommended Reading List: February, 2026

I had a lovely February of reading. Lots more time than I expected, which is fun. As regular readers of this feature know, I don’t recommend everything nor should I, considering I’ve also been reading 300-year-old plays for my Theatre History class. But there’s lots of good here, including a nonfiction book that everyone in […]…

Recommended Reading List: December 2025

Hah! The first Recommended Reading List that’s been on time in months (years?). I finished it in December, and am putting it up as soon as I can. Feels good. All of this, except for this little part, was written in December as I finished my reading. Now onto finishing the last 2 from…

Recommended Reading List (Belated Edition): July 2025

Not as much to recommend in July, primarily because I didn’t like what I read enough to recommend it. So one novel and a nonfiction book, as well as some articles. In case you’re wondering why this post is for July, I got behind on posting my lists and…

Recommended Reading List (Belated Edition): June 2025

For those of you who are coming late to this party, I got very far behind recording the books that I have loved over the past year. I usually do it when the month of reading ends. For almost eight months, I was unable to do that. I posted May’s edition  in early…

Recommended Reading List (Belated Edition): May 2025

Yep, I’m late. I was busy last year working on saving the business, so I got behind on things like the Recommended Reading List. I thought of bunching everything into one list, but I didn’t want to, and then I thought of pretending I hadn’t missed, and I didn’t want…

Recommended Reading List: November 2025

I’m still playing catch-up on the lists, but I decided last month to stay current with the current reading, which feels quite good. I have more reading time, which is nice, but some of it is for school work. Lots of ancient plays and plays in translation. I’m learning a lot about…

Recommended Reading List: October, 2025

I decided to do the Recommended Reading List as intended, releasing it the month after I did the reading. I got behind earlier in the year, so the place where I store the recommended reads has turned into a towering mass of fiction. I’m going to catch up on those, but first,…

Recommended Reading List: April 2025

Still operating from behind here, because these past two years were insane. At least I found time to read again, even when conducting a workshop or working with student manuscripts. I didn’t find a lot to like, though, in April. I read a number of books that either didn’t end well or…
