I spent the summer finishing up a novel that I started more than twenty years ago. I’ve put it off that long because I knew one day I would be good enough to write it. I really think it’s the best work I’ve ever done. Below are the links to purchase. I’m already working on the audiobook, and positive reviews will help me land a quality narrator.

Best regards

Two American friends, one black and the other white, travel across Ireland, but what begins as an escape gradually becomes a reckoning with friendship, desire, race, masculinity, and the stories we tell ourselves when we're far from home.

Leap of the Dog is a character-driven literary novel for readers who like dark humor, complicated friendships, travel narratives, and morally messy characters. https://www.amazon.com/Leap-Dog-Antonio-J-Hopson-ebook/dp/B0H9WVY4GY/ref=zg_bs_g_159955011_d_sccl_1/144-9245708-7702913?psc=1

"Orcas for Jennifer." I'm hoping you will help get this thing going. Here's the link and more information. https://apps.apple.com/.../orcas-for-jennifer/id6794450222 Like a dating app, but with orcas. Swipe into the lives of the Salish Sea's most remarkable whales, follow your favorites, and discover their stories.

Orcas for Jennifer wasn't created by a marine biologist or a software company. It was built by a science teacher for someone he loves.

Jennifer is the kind of person who lights up whenever someone says, "The whales are here." Like so many people in the Pacific Northwest, she wanted one place to discover which orcas were being seen, learn their family stories, and understand why they matter. Instead, the information was scattered across research organizations, sightings networks, conservation groups, and social media.

So I built this app.

Orcas for Jennifer brings together trusted information about the Southern Resident killer whales, Bigg's (Transient) orcas, whale sightings, hydrophones, conservation organizations, Indigenous art, educational resources, and the remarkable stories of individual whales that call the Salish Sea home.

Follow your favorite whales, explore recent sightings on an interactive map, listen to underwater hydrophones, learn about J, K, and L Pods, discover Bigg's families, and connect with organizations working every day to protect these incredible animals.

Whether you're watching from a Washington ferry, standing on a beach in British Columbia, or simply fascinated by killer whales from anywhere in the world, this app was designed to help you spend less time searching and more time learning.

Because sometimes the best apps aren't built to reach millions of people.

Sometimes they're built for one person.

And if they help everyone else fall in love with orcas too, that's even better.

Hello fellow teachers, turns classroom delays into quick, funny excuses. Pick a mood, spin the clock, and get the perfect reason before the bell catches you. Ready when time slips.

E=mc², or so they say, but time is emotional, too. Einstein said it first: sitting on a train with a pretty woman seems to make time fly, while sitting with an uninteresting person (presumably less attractive) makes time drag. This was his way of describing the relative nature of space and time, place and person.

You’ve already experienced this yourself. Think of a faculty meeting that’s running long—teachers raising their hands and voices, huffing and puffing. Those meetings seem to stretch on forever. In contrast, there are meetings that could have been an email and move along at the speed of molasses on a cold day. You’re either in lizard-brain mode or bored to death. Time is emotional.

And since every teacher lives and dies by the clock, we understand this better than most. Maybe it’s the three-minute difference between getting to the cafeteria before they run out of tacos and arriving too late. Maybe it’s being stuck behind traffic lights while your homeroom students are waiting outside your locked classroom. Whatever the reason, you know that your time is your profession.

This app is a serious look at the strains and importance of our time as we try to balance our families with our students, friends, and colleagues. It is both a tribute to time and a celebration of it. It is silly, funny, and random.
