An Explanation (of sorts)

Yes, I know. I have maintained silence for awhile. :( The reason is that I have been consumed by a process (moving) and I am still in the belly of the beast. But I will have an announcement soon. Miss you guys, :-) \m/

Keep Reading!

“My vote for best novella ever is split between Paul Theroux’s ‘The Greenest Island’ and Herman Melville’s ‘Benito Cereno.’ Two kick-ass short reads.”

After a few requests, I finally compiled a Complete Discography of all the music in my novel, The Pursuit of Cool. After checking I was kind of surprised how much is in there! You can also listen to the 40 songs on 2 Spotify playlists. So check it out and enjoy! :)

“Ever need to revisit a time in your life that lives just out of the edge of imagination, in the haze of half-recalled images, song lyrics with ellipses at each end, and fragrances that blend together like the Tempera paint of out-of-control kindergarteners? You know the one – you are trying to tell the story to yourself and remember that it was more than the classes you cut, or job you lost, or the girl who dumped you?” — Quote from Ron Fischman’s 3 Through Literary review of The Pursuit of Cool

“You say yes, I say no./
You say stop and I say go go go, oh no./
You say goodbye and I say hello/
Hello hello/
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello/” — Beatles
