2022: A life altering year.

Hey guys, I didn’t get a chance up until now to post a 2022 year end wrap up, so here it is.

 I’m sitting here in a hotel room in the Pacific Northwest working on my latest novel. There’s a lot going on. To the point I’m just trying to balance everything the best I can.

 In 2022, My Facebook page reached 45 million people. In one year. I started that page to post writing and adventure photography. I’m extremely appreciative of all of you who frequent that page and also appreciative of META for having my back as an artist. I am humbled and surprised and shocked at  what’s happening.

Also in 2022, my debut novel The Puller was published by Pyr and distributed by Simon and Schuster. I actually saw my book on the shelves next to Stephen King books at Barnes and Noble. I was absolutely stunned!

In addition, I did a very brief thing on the TV show Yellowstone that qualified me for SAG.

2022 was an INCREDIBLE year.

I can’t thank you all enough. I have to admit, it’s also been a little weird. When you start accomplishing some of the career things you’ve always wanted to accomplish, you find out real quick who was actually rooting for you and who secretly wasn’t.

And that’s been a revelation. But as always, my eyes are on the big picture. To forge meaningful relationships and to create meaningful art. And to promote kindness and awareness through my writing and photography.

Here’s to a happy, healthy 2023 to all of you!
