Deadly Women

05Feb10

Last night, I was watching ID channel’s ‘Deadly Women’ — the show seriously gives me nightmares. It’s quite graphic and some of the crimes are really gruesome. Other programs I enjoy watching include Spike channel’s ‘1000 Ways to Die’, and the ‘Law & Order’ series (re-runs too).

Completed a crisp, straight from the hip style interview thanks to Ms. Shelagh Watkins (editor and publisher @ Mandinam Press).

EyeLeash: A Blog Novel came in 3rd place in P&E’s poll — thanks to all who voted :)! Spiffy button below.

Author Interview, Alex Austin

25Jan10

I’ve decided to do random short interviews with fellow authors (it’ll be a new addition to this blog). Without further ado, here’s Mr. Alex Austin!

Describe yourself in 5 words:
Alex: Relentless, droll, skeptical, restive, furtive.

Share a short excerpt and blurb of your work (10-100 words):
Excerpt from The Red Album of Asbury Park Remixed, the story of a young musician trying to make the best of his life in the tumultuous 60s/70s Asbury music scene:

I pushed myself off the bench and started walking. I looked up at the Casino, the letters of the word were split into frames: CA/SI/NO.

Writing + College Update

25Jan10

Good News: Finished Book03 (most mainstream than my first two books).

Bad News: Planning for Book04 is practically non-existent. The initial, original first spark of “The Idea” for Book04 was scribbled down in Oct 2008. I’ll have to expand on it.

Good News: Two of my college courses for Spring 2010 — (1) Shakespeare; and (2) Rock Music and Culture.

Bad News: Shakespeare = advanced study / 4xx upper division course (= something like 10 critical essays plus an exam that looks quite difficult).

Author Interview, Joe Perrone Jr.

18Jan10

I’ve decided to do random short interviews with fellow authors (it’ll be a new addition to this blog). Without further ado, here’s Mr. Joe Perrone Jr.!

Describe yourself in 5 words:
Joe: Intense, personable, creative, engaging, funny.

Share a short excerpt and blurb of your work (10-100 words):
Excerpt from Escaping Innocence (A Story of Awakening), a coming-of-age story set in the ’60s:

“Of course, the burden of sharing any future sins with Him would rest squarely on my shoulders, but it was a small price to pay for the freedom that that relationship would afford me. Besides, I rationalized: who the hell wanted to tell some dirty old man about a nice, sweet girl like Patty? Not me. Never again would I make the long, anxious journey to the old confessional. From now on, it would be just me and God — the way it ought to be.”
