Yes, it's been 2 years to the day that THIRST was first unleashed on the unsuspecting world...what a terrific trip it's been! By my measure, a wildly successful book...one I hope you'll check out if you haven't yet jumped in to the drunken doom and redemption it holds!
In other news: I'm 43. I missed my Henry Miller window -- hoping to get my first novel out by 42. But there's still hope...as Chinese Gucci is submitted, and a Rank Stranger is being worked on. Tonight I raise a glass to all the folks who've supported my writing over the years! Like ol' Buddy Guy says, "You all know you make me feel good, don'tcha?"
You Are Not Alone, You Have Found Otherppl...
Nothing major to report...the first novel sits atop a slushpile awaiting its fate, while I keep tinkering with the 2nd novel. We'll see...
But I wanted to let you all know, on the off chance you didn't already, about a great podcast, Otherppl (Other People) hosted by Brad Listi. Generally speaking, each episode is an hour-long conversation with a writer...many still relatively unknown and published in the small press. If you like writing, and writers, and you don't mind podcasts, this is one you shouldn't miss.
A Drinkable Feast with Walt Whitman
Join me in celebrating Independence Day with an honest-to-goodness independent American thinker, poet, and barbaric yawper, Uncle Walt. Plus a couple of local beers, and some delish food truck sandwiches from Conchita's Creations, HERE.
