Blog postI’ve always loved the Frost poem for which this is the opening line, and it came to mind yesterday as I was walking through a local wood here in St. Paul. Thanks to the polar vortex, we’re just beginning to emerge from the longest, coldest period here in Minnesota in twenty-five years. Day after day, ... Read more

Blog post“Peace begins when expectations end.”
I embrace this quote from Sri Chinmoy, especially when I consider the past year. It’s been a turbulent, unsettling time in so many ways. Plans cancelled, dreams unfulfilled, lives put on hold. Giving into despair has been a constant temptation. Yet here we are on the threshold of a new year with hope in our hearts that in the days ahead we’ll return to life as we once knew it.
As I look at the past year, I’m aware that for me it’s been a j -
Blog postHere’s the stunning cover for Lightning Strike, my next novel in the Cork O’Connor series. I love the brooding blue of the sky, the eerie mist, the solitary kid on a bike. When you read the book, you’ll understand the importance of all these elements. Just a little teaser here: Lightning Strike is a prequel to my Cork O’Connor series. It follows Cork in his adolescence, shortly before he turns thirteen, the year before his father is killed in the line of duty. There are mysteri

Blog postI’ve returned to Minnesota just in time for the best part of my favorite season. There’s something in autumn that only the coldest of hearts refuses to embrace. Autumn is fire—in the trees, in the shrubs and bushes, in the sunrises and the sunsets. Autumn is the lovely blanket we wrap ourselves in as we prepare for the winter we know is coming.
I went biking this weekend. The trail I’d carefully chosen turned out to be closed due to construction. I was miffed but decided that rather t -
Blog postI’ve never cared much about money. For me, there are so many other delights in life more stable and enduring—family, writing, nature, exercise. But when a check for $150,000, drawn on the account of the royal family in Monaco arrives by overnight FedEx express, it gets my attention.
So, here’s the story. I received a lovely email from Stefano Casiraghi, Jr., grandson of Prince Rainier and Princess Grace (you know, Grace Kelly, the stunning movie star of the 1950s). In his very graciou -
Blog postIn the midst of so many challenges, so many large considerations before us as a nation, I have a reason to celebrate, albeit a selfish one. The paperback edition of This Tender Land, which was released on May 26, debuted on Publishers Weekly’s bestseller list at #3, on the New York Times list at #7, and on the L.A. Times list at #9.
This is the first time any of my paperback editions have been on these bestseller lists. I owe a huge debt of gratitude -
Blog postThe house where my wife and I raised our children, the house my daughter now owns, is three blocks from the epicenter of the rioting and looting that took place in St. Paul last week, an area called Midway. On Thursday night, she called us on the hour to let us know she was fine. Scared, but all right. There were gunshots nearby, strangers roaming the streets, the smell of smoke in the air.
The images on the news were grim and remain grim, but there’s another side to what is occurring -
Blog postIn these dark days of the pandemic, we all need hope. Here’s a story that will warm your hearts, offer you some hope, and maybe even make you believe in miracles.
My daughter Seneca has always opened her heart to the wounded in our world, both human and non-human. She is a marriage and family therapist by vocation, but she also fosters dogs waiting for adoption. Zelda came to her in this way.
Zelda is a mutt. From her skittish behavior when Seneca first took her in, it was cle -
Blog postDuring the current coronavirus, my YMCA has been closed, as it should be. To exercise, I’ve been riding my Trek touring bike a significant distance whenever possible. Often, these rides take me along one of the many wonderful trails that follow the Mississippi River as it meanders through the Twin Cities, separating Saint Paul and ... Read more

Blog postEaster Sunday, and it snowed nearly six inches in Saint Paul.
Mid-April, but it looked more like bleak December.
By late afternoon, I’d been stuck in the house way too long and needed an outing.
I walked to Como Park, not far from my home.
The weather was grim, the low, slate clouds still spitting snow as small and hard as grains of salt.
I didn’t go expecting blossoms and sunshine.
What I discovered were moments of extraordinary revelation comp
