  It’s been over a month since Fortitude released in its e-reader formats and two weeks since the paperback release. Reviews are slowly coming in. I know there are those who’s paper copy hasn’t been delivered yet, so I’m expecting more conversation once those are out in the world. When you’ve read Fortitude I’d love to…

Government Street in Mobile, AL is lined with fabulous live oaks—their trunks and main branches support leafy green ferns and mosses. (Mental note: take picture next time I’m downtown.) The past two years, one of…
