Hey y'all.



Been a long time. Sorry about that.

Hope you enjoy it. Thanks to the fine people at Atlanta Magazine for providing guidance to myself, a fiction guy wading into nonfictional waters ("what do you mean I can't just make Read more of this blog post »

“His voice, the very sound of rolling eyes.”
Thomas Mullen, The Many Deaths of the Firefly Brothers

“The right thing was confusing, and difficult, and sometimes Jason wondered if it was in fact a nonexistent ideal, like heaven or the American dream. There was no right thing. You did what you did for whatever reasons occurred to you at the time, depending on whichever emotion was running thickest in your blood. Your desire and fear and adrenaline and longing. You made your choice and came up with the reasons later.”
Thomas Mullen, The Many Deaths of the Firefly Brothers

“She had written Darcy the letter and posted it from her husband's tenth-story office while he was away in some strumpet's bed. And then she'd transformed herself into a bird, and then an anvil, and then a corpse.”
Thomas Mullen, The Many Deaths of the Firefly Brothers
