Why is so much of our existence so ordinary? Why this immense tract of stuff in our lives that seems to have no lofty purpose? In ninety short devotional chapters, Mike Mason meditates on this question, concluding that in fact everydayness, to the extent we embrace it, is a source of deep consolation. Far from being meaningless, the humdrum and the commonplace may actually hold the secret of life.

Why is so much of our existence so ordinary? Why this immense tract of stuff in our lives that seems to have no lofty purpose? In ninety short devotional chapters, Mike Mason meditates on this question, concluding that in fact everydayness, to the extent we embrace it, is a source of deep consolation. Far from being meaningless, the humdrum and the commonplace may actually hold the secret of life. Same Old, Same New-beautifully and provocatively written and full of arresting insights-will take your old tired world, stand it on end, and spin it like a top. "Mike Mason straddles two worlds, the quotidian and the eternal. Of course those two worlds aren't separate worlds at all-and the reality of that intermingling, that co-existence of the mundane and the mystical, is perhaps the recurrent theme of Mason's writing." ~Ron Reed, Founding Artistic Director of Pacific Theatre

Autorenporträt
Growing up in New England gave me a respect for a mixture of cultures and a taste for history. I grew up in a family full of soldiers, sailors, cops, truck drivers and nurses. Their trades sparked my imagination and gave me a thrirst for understanding the world. My grandfather gave e a fondness for books and history that will never truly be quenched. At least I hope not. As a writer i want not to lock myself into a single genre. My pen, in my mind, should be as diverse as the world i live in. I seek out the latest tales of Horror from King and Koontz just as fast as I jump into the fantastical worlds of Tolkien and Goodkind and Asimov. Just as easily I will find myself in the thrilling and dramatic tales told by Ludlum, Brad Thor and jack Carr. Beyond writing I am the husband of an incredible and beautiful woman who said yes to a dreamer and has held tight at every turn in this crazy adventure of life. I am the father of three amazing children, including a teenage daughter, who make me laugh, work harder and dream bigger while simultaneously making me think that pulling my hair out might be a good idea. We and our two Chihauhaus Thor and Loki, who live up to their names, recently left the green mountains of Vermont for a new adventure in the blue grass of Kentucky. The writing continues.
