Hand-Me-Downs Absolutely beside myself to announce that my new short story collection, Hand-Me-Downs, will be published very soon. In the past, the contents of my collections have been a mixed bag of genres and styles selected from everything I'd published in the previous decade or so, but…

Mate, you are an awesome and fearless writer. As far as I'm concerned, people like you keep the landscape fresh, dangerous, and exciting.

This is good book news. Kelso is really good.

Want.
