Writing the Stories That Connect Us

Essays and memoir about love, loss, memory, and the experiences that quietly shape who we are.

"Each essay reads with the vividness and emotional clarity of a short film."

- G. Riley Mills, Emmy Award-winning producer, best-selling author

Hear It In My Own Words

Curious what's inside The Luck We Carry before you commit to the whole book? This video is a good place to start. It's the talk I give at book signings at bookstores.

I talk about why I wrote it, and I read three pieces aloud—"The Meet Cute," "Vampires Have Been Here," and "A Man of Two Words."

 

Grab a coffee (or a martini, Ken would approve) and give it a watch.

The Weekly ChRONicle

Every week I film my life as a writer and solopreneur and put the honest version here. The wins, the admin, the days the plan doesn't survive contact with the morning. Hudson makes more cameos than he's earned. And in every episode there's a stretch where I stop talking, open a journal, and write—and you're invited to write along with me.
