Yesterday I was sitting in the theater waiting to endure “Morbius” when the phone buzzed in my pocket. I was still suffering advertisements for everything from Mountain Dew to General Motors so I took a look and it was my friend Melissa informing me that my website had expired!

That’s not good! Have I been so derelict as to let my own website languish and slowly fade? Where were the emails informing me that this was impending? Why didn’t I have my shit in gear?

There’s no excuse. To be honest, I’m just as susceptible to the instant gratification of social media as anyone else - it’s a chore for me to keep up with it, and my beloved WBD goes neglected. Also, LIFE HAPPENS! Things are pretty chill now, I’m working hard on “WEST OF SUNDOWN” and I’m mostly keeping my head above water and out of the deep sea of “future despair”, but for a while there things were PRETTY ROCKY for your boy.

That’s right, I got thrown into the cement mixer of life, tossed around back there in that spinning tube, driven to a different city and dumped in a bad part of town. Somehow I emerged intact but I’ve been walking wounded for a bit, still staggering a little, looking around all dazed. FOCUS!

So that’s my story, I’m sticking to it. WEST OF SUNDOWN #1 came out this week and has been slated for a 2nd printing, which is wild. INDIO is still out there and I appreciate everyone who’s read it and shared their thoughts and memories with me. I’ve been getting back into making movies as well, which has been a steep “tech learning curve” but also a tremendous joy. I completed my first short in years, and I’ll be SURE to let you know when and where you can check it out.

Still putting work up on the big cartel, I’ll try and set up a link here on the site… so that’s where we’re at!

Thanks for being patient with this clown.
