Notes
Short pieces on the books, the bench, the woodstove, and the weekly conversation with Margaret. The long form lives on Soul of the Everyman.
Welcome
This site replaces the old Wix page. Same books, cleaner door. Blood Series, the memoir, AngelStories, the ghost shelves, Cozy Crystal, and the shorts all live under Books. Audio is under Listen. If you want the next release in your inbox, join the fire circle.
Podcast
Michael and Margaret, live and unedited, week after week — hundreds of episodes on the work of being human. Same voice as the books, talking in real time.
On the desk
Maggie and Mike Hartstone are not finished with Hamilton. Murder by Moonlight is planned for late 2026. Crystal shop, empty nest, and another body the town will try to explain away.
