First things first. This morning, my 9 month old daughter Cassandra waved to me and said “Hi, Daddy,” her first unmistakable confirmed words in the presence of two witnesses. So far as I’m concerned, that’s way more important than any of the other stuff I’ve been blogging about lately.
That said, there have been some other [...]

Mobile Me
It’s been quite a week. Seriously. Like a year’s worth of stuff happened in the last 7 days.
I had been planning for last week to be a quiet one where I could get a lot of writing done, but due to an almost slapstick convergence of events, I was forced to put it off again [...]
News 12 Brooklyn
Local readers, take heed! I will be on News 12 Brooklyn at 1 PM today. In a similar story to the Daily News and Am New York pieces, super-nice reporter Brittany Oat came out and interviewed me in my home office about my writing on my phone during my commute, and then filmed me on [...]
Page 3 Girl
So pick up a copy of the NY Daily News today and open the cover. There on page friggin’ THREE, you’ll find a HUGE picture of my ugly mug! The article is about how I wrote The Warded Man on my iPaq smartphone while riding the Subway. You can see the full article here, but [...]
Can of Worms
So apparently I opened a can of worms the other day with my comment on the (spoiler review alert!) review of The Painted Man by Ana from The Book Smugglers. Not because of what I said or how I said it, but because of the very fact that I, wearing my author hat, said anything [...]
Awesome
My new fan Ultra Dave made a YouTube video out of pictures from the site. It is pretty awesome. As cool as it is to see the work of professional artists who have been hired to create images and design for my books, it is by far cooler when a reader is inspired to do [...]
More Packrat Love
The last few posts have had me thinking more about the things I fell in love with as a child that turned me into the lovable dork I am today. I think I am going to make this a regular column, posting whenever I get around to scanning some new gem from my treasure chest. [...]
Local Flavor
My story last week in AM New York seems to have been picked up around town here in Brooklyn. Apparently I’m not the only person in a love-hate abusive relationship with the F train.
While we’re on the topic, you know what I hate about the F train? That Fort Hamilton Parkway is a goddamn local [...]
Things That Scare Me, Pt 1: Puppet Strings
Fear is a major theme in The Warded Man. In the story, the entire human race is crippled by blind fear and by it kept from their full potential.
I write about fear because it’s something I deal with every day, and I bet a lot of other folks do, too. So I am going to [...]
El Hombre Marcado
I am pleased to present the latest member of the Painted Man family: El Hombre Marcado!
The book will be released May 26, 2009 from Timun Mas y Minotauro in Spain and some other Spanish markets (which I am pretty sure includes Mexico).
