Subscribe to my free monthly newsletter

For more about me and my writing, check out my newsletter, The Carico Monthly. In each issue I will answer questions about my writing and myself, share books I am reading, and other tidbits, along with an original story, poem, or essay. 

When you subscribe with your email address, I will promptly send you an original short story and will follow that in a few days with a welcome issue of the newsletter. After that you can expect a newsletter each month with occasional announcements in between. I promise not to overwhelm your inbox or share your email address with anyone. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of each newsletter.


You can learn about the books in my Under Carico's Moons series - DISTANT TRAILS, DEEP CANYONS, and TRICKY GROUND - at my website. Books One and Two are available from Not a Pipe Publishing, by having your local bookstore order them, or from the usual online sellers. E-book versions are available for Kindle from Amazon.com.  Book Three will be released on April 18, 2023 and will be available for pre-order by April 1, 2023.
