Godspeed, Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Thank you for the way your great talents brought a Thomas Harris character so beautifully from the page to the silver screen.

“California Kingdom”

My friend in the Heartland, Jessi Schweiger, penned a damn fine short poem. Check out “California Kingdom.”

California Kingdom

Stubbed out cigarettes
Tiny burns, smears of ash, tobacco flakes
Like a dreadful snow.
Coffee stains
The sill, rings on the sheet, henna patterns
An homage to insomnia.
The laptop
Low hum, radiant heat, distraction
Where a man used to sleep.

A fantastic review today for “The Dogs Don’t Bark In Brooklyn Any More.”

“The Dogs Don’t Bark In Brooklyn Any More” received an enormously positive review today from fiction blogger Kimi Small (“The Small Girl.”)

Book Review: “The Dogs Don’t Bark in Brooklyn Anymore” by Eric Robert Nolan

[“Nolan’s weaving of the present and the past was remarkable–because in this action, he has revealed his interest in and his grasp on the psychology of people.

“Eric Robert Nolan is a natural. He is deliberate is his storytelling and cinematographic in his descriptions. There is difficulty in penning action scenes but Nolan, at no point becomes overwhelming. His attention to detail is an indication that he means for nothing to slip by us as we read.”]

More positive reviews for “All Hail the New Flesh.”

There were two positive reviews today for “All Hail the New Flesh.”

The first is by my co-author Andrea Hinchey, who penned the entry “Requiem.”  (Andrea was kind enough to give high marks for my own story, “At the End of the World, My Daughter Wept Metal.”)

The second is Amazon Reviewer Rowena Hoseason rating the sci-fi short story anthology at an 8 out of 10.
