It was a lot of work, but I’ve finally launched TheBloodThatBonds.com. The site is dedicated to promoting my novel, which I’ve released as a free eBook in a variety of formats (with more coming). Please check it out and forward it to anyone you think might be interested!
Requiem for a Dream by Hubert Selby Jr. My review rating: 4 of 5 stars Hubert Selbey Jr.’s Requiem for a Dream is a hard book to read … not due so much to its sensitive subject matter, which is frankly riveting, as to Selby’s unconventional, stream-of-consciousness prose. The guy barely believes in basic punctuation [...]
Sorry for the lack of updates. I had a friend in town, and I’m trying to get ready for my taxes. Next week should be a bit lighter, and then I’m going to try and do some updates from Hawaii as well. That’ll be fun. In the meantime, please enjoy this picture of the Empire [...]
Subwayland: Adventures in the World Beneath New York by Randy Kennedy My review rating: 4 of 5 stars If you live in New York City, which I do, the subway is probably a substantial part of your life. Even if you don’t, it’s a pretty fascinating place to visit, in person or in print. Randy [...]
Sorry I couldn’t get to the computer yesterday, but no worries — I’ve made all of the rest of Voices available in the Writing section, starting at Page 83. It’s good to finally have it all up. I’m still happy with this story … it’s not going to win me any Pulitzers, but it’s fun [...]

On that exciting, autobiographical note, here now are the [...]
I’ve unleashed all eleven pages of Voices Chapter 7 in the Writing section, starting with Page 64. Our fearless band of adventurers have put their plan into action, but things don’t go quite the way they were expecting. Excitement, terror, and explosions await in the latest pages! Half of Chapter 8 coming tomorrow, the other [...]
Howdy. I hope everyone had or is having a wonderful holiday season, depending on what kind of holidays you celebrate. My family celebrates Christmas, so that’s what I was off doing for the past week (in the frozen white north of Syracuse, New York). I have now returned, and I bring forth this gift for [...]
Well, I’m done getting married, and I’m done playing Fallout 3 … so here’s some more Voices. I’ve decided to release smaller chunks, more frequently, rather than this slow-but-big schedule I’ve been doing so far. We’ll see how that goes. The latest version of WordPress has a new admin interface, and it makes posting pages [...]
Ah, schadenfreude … “A malicious satisfaction obtained from the misfortunes of others.” Yep, that’s the stuff. The sweet, sweet taste of the New York Yankees sucking. See, I live in New York, but I spent my formative years in Massachusetts, and those are the years in which sports allegiances are formed (with the exception of [...]
