Kirkus reviews THE GATEPOST
February 13, 2026 § 6 Comments
It’s always touch-and-go when it comes to the big trade publications that specialize in forthcoming books. Will they review the book, and if so, will the review be positive? It’s quite important too, because these publications are influential with librarians and booksellers, and can be leading indicators regarding the potential success of new books out in the marketplace. Kirkus reviewers in particular have a reputation for being pretty tough, so you can imagine my relief to find that THE GATEPOST’s first official review was overwhelmingly positive:
“A hallucinatory thriller is a fascinating concept, and the plot is a treat . . . A compellingly trippy journey.”

My sincere gratitude to Kevin Simpson and The Colorado Sun for their early interest in THE GATEPOST, launching May 26, 2026!
In addition to the podcast, The Sun published an excerpt of the novel’s first chapter and a wide-ranging print interview in which we talked about Oaxaca and the inspiration for the novel, the writing process, Mesoamerican shamanism, hallucinogenic mushrooms, the multiverse, and more.
