Finally...a real blog
Current mood: drained
Category: Blogging

Never had a blog before. Never thought anything I'd have to say would be that interesting. Still not sure it will be. But it's the wave everybody else is already riding, so I'm belatedly climbing on the surfboard. I'm the guy with his beach sandals over his black socks.

You can find it here.

Announcing Guys Lit Wire
Category: Writing and Poetry

Beginning tomorrow, June 2, I'll be joining authors, editors, librarians, booksellers and readers at Guys Lit Wire, a new site dedicated to correcting the misperception that boys don't read as much as girls, especially teenage boys.

I was honored with the inaugeral posting chores, and I chose my favorite book from my adolescence, Edgar Rice Burroughs "The Land That Time Forgot." We're committed to five new posts a week, from an array of bloggers and covering a wide range of books. Check it out, leave a comment and let us know what you think.
