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!!! 😀
Nicole DeCaneo is a lovely girl with a lovely talent as an artist, and she is kind enough to give a few pointers in art education to a Philistine like me. (Cuz if I want to be well rounded, I need to lern ’bout the paintin’s an’ stuff.)
This is one of her pieces.
I am also quite grateful to see that the University of Mary Washington Magazine’s “Class Notes” section mentioned Illumen Magazine’s publication of my “Three Dreamers” set of poems this past winter.
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!

It totally recalls for me Mary Washington College’s New Hall, circa 1994, as well as that semester’s Spring Break escape to Killdevil Hills, North Carolina.
Dead Snakes has featured two new poems of mine. The first is entitled “Amanda,” and is about how love and friendship can foster optimism for the New Year.
The second is entitled “Elizabeth Mitchell Haiku.” As you will see, it is a sublimely masterful use of language that will surely guarantee me the actress’ hand in marriage. So I might soon need a little help ring shopping.
Enjoy!
