Thanks to Dave Housley, the site is now up and looking much more approachable than it has in at least a year.

My first book, Bury Me In My Jersey: A Memoir of My Father, Football, and Philly, will be released by Villard in just about three months. You can (and should!) pre-order now by following the links in the margin.

Be sure to check back frequently over the coming weeks for updates on readings, reviews, and other book-related information.

Soon I hope we’ll be able to put the book cover up here. It’s coming along, a few hoops to jump through, but it’s getting there. More soon.
