I’ll be returning to my beloved home town, Winthrop, MA, this coming Saturday August 29, 2026 to sign books at Winthrop Book Depot & Café from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm ahead of the Class of 1979 65th Birthday Party Reunion later that evening.
I’ve recently published my debut novel, The Unraveling of Michael Galler, a family drama with a psychological edge set on Boston’s North Shore.
Filmmaker Gavin O’Connor (Miracle, The Accountant, Warrior, and The Way Back) has praised the book for having “created a physical and emotional battleground in which the underlying tension could escalate at any moment.”
Having attended the University of Pennsylvania and since settling in Connecticut, the book has received national recognition, including several book lists:
*The Philadelphia Inquirer: Five books by authors with ties to Philadelphia to take to the shore
*CTInsider: New books by Connecticut authors to add to your summer reading list
*SheReads Magazine: Family dramas that will tug at your heart strings
*Boston Today says, “. . . it explores timely themes of health anxiety and personal identity . . .”
*Midwest Book Review calls it, “Original, exceptional, deftly crafted, and an inherently reader engaging read from start to finish.”
*The Kansas City Star sports columnist and Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist Vahe Gregorian describes the writing as “. . . thought-provoking and visceral eloquence . . .”
*The Culture Buzz, Iowa's gateway to arts and literature says, ". . . a fantastic book . . . so many wonderful elements . . ."
Be sure to stop in and pick up a copy and to relive some old memories with me, or make some new ones.
