I’ve gotten a lot of queries from readers lately about progress on the next book in “The Wolf War” series.
Rest assured — I am working on it. I promise devastated lands under harsh moonlight, disciplined soldiers moving quietly in the night, and our heroes keeping company with the dead.
I will apprise everyone of the journey as it proceeds.
I recently had the honor of being interviewed by Bunbury Magazine, in the United Kingdom, about “The Dogs Don’t Bark In Brooklyn Any More.” Bunbury is a beautiful online magazine focusing on the arts, with outstanding photography, artwork, poetry, short stories and interviews.
I had great fun with the interview, which included a lot of thoughtful questions, and more than a couple of fun ones.
As “Dogs” is a post-apocalyptic science fiction story, the editors at Bunbury featured my interview in Issue Four, the Dystopian Special. I’d like to thank Christopher Moriarty and Keri-Ann Edwards at Bunbury for their kind attention to a new writer, and to Reg Davey at Dagda Publishing for arranging this wonderful opportunity for me.
Enjoy the Dystopian Special here:

“A character is never the author who created him. It is quite likely, however, that an author may be all his characters simultaneously.”
– Albert Camus
I love this quote. (Thanks, Dagda Publishing Facebook page!) I need to remember this the next time someone suggests that the main character in my book is an author proxy.
Or, as my Longwood High School pal Tim Gatto so tactfully asked, “Is Rebecca just you in drag?”
I will plead the Fifth, however, on whether or not any Mary Washington College pranks involved me getting into drag.
This is the nutty friend who went to a party dressed as his favorite character from “The Dogs Don’t Bark In Brooklyn Any More.”
He’s the Army Major and cognitive ethologist at Fort Ronald Reagan who teaches wolf psychology and interrogates wolf prisoners.
And Special Animal Warfare Service Squad Captain Rebecca O’Conner discovers that there’s more to his work than she initially expects …
But that’s cool — because he’d “do anything for a fellow carrot-top.”
I am laughing my @$$ off!!
A college pal and a reader of “The Dogs Don’t Bark In Brooklyn Any More” is going to a party tonight dressed as a character!!
I know exactly what the Special Animal Warfare Service emblem “looks like,” but I have zero artistic ability, so I cannot render it. Maybe someday when I am wealthy, I will hire graphic designer John Celio to get it down for me.
Have fun, Greg, you NUT!!! 😀
I am honored tonight to find that “The Dogs Don’t Bark In Brooklyn Any More” was featured in the “Book Report” section of the Spring 2014 Issue of the University of Mary Washington Magazine. I honestly feel that seeing this first novel featured alongside the books of my alumni and the esteemed university faculty is the nicest such honor I’ve received.
I’d like to extend my humble thanks to Director of University Publications Neva Trenis and her staff.

Lance (a.k.a. the bibliophilic robot 4-LAN) gave my book a very nice review on his blog, “What I Am Reading,” over at The Book Marketing Network.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with The Book Marketing Network, it is an outstanding community of authors, artists and publishers who exchange advice and guidance about writing, publishing and marketing e-books.
It’s a great group of friends and a terrific source for tips about how best to get readers acquainted with your work. I highly recommend it to all of my fellow writers.

Some more nice Amazon customer reviews for “The Dogs Don’t Bark In Brooklyn Any More.” Thanks, folks.
Dagda Publishing in the United Kingdom has very kindly featured my latest poem, “Amanda.” (The poem was originally published by Dead Snakes.)
I am honored to see my work featured with Dagda, as they consistently promote the work of outstanding emerging writers.
Thank you, Dagda Publishing!
