Here, from my publisher in Scotland, is the cover for my forthcoming biography (in July) of William Borden, famous as "Borden of Yale." It's titled "Beacon-Light: The Life of William Borden."

A favorite passage from G.K. Chesterton on Robert Louis Stevenson, taken from his collection of literary essays, "Varied Types" (1903).

In the 1700s, Samuel Johnson described "the two most engaging powers of an author: new things are made familiar, and familiar things are made new." In kind, G.K. Chesterton said in 1905: "the man who seeks old things will be always finding new things."

This month brings the 3rd anniversary of the release to audio of my literary biography of John Bunyan, via Blackstone Audio. The book is narrated by Robertson Dean (MFA, Yale), the recipient of numerous AudioFile Awards.
