West Coast 9/11 Story - New Chapter
Category: Writing and Poetry

I just posted a special chapter today on 9/11 of my West Coast September 11 memoir, "Thick White Crust."

In the chapter "Dia de los Rascacielos" I write about where I was on 9/11, saying goodbye to a girl in Las Vegas.

I hope you stop by and read it on TheNervousBreakdown.com. Would mean a lot to me. I appreciate comments too where you can share your own story of where you were that day, or whatever else is on your mind. - n.l.

What is your family legacy? Mine is a total trip and is filled with murder and debauchery. Have a look and please leave a comment with a question about the story, or of your thoughts. I would love to have a conversation with you about it. - n.l.

Interesting 9/11 Discussion
Category: Writing and Poetry

There's an interesting discussion going on at TheNervousBreakdown.com in the comments section of an N.L. Belardes post where people are telling their 9/11 stories. Feel free to go and leave yours too. We're interesting in reading what you have to say as not enough people have told what they were doing on that day. Maybe you were having a crisis and never talked about it. - noveltown

Category: MySpace

Tell all these people N.L. sent you. Add them. Here's why...

I can't agree more with this MySpace user's anti-corporate energy article  (Read More And Add GTigerclaw) (myspace.com/gtigerclaw)

Add writer of Corruption's Child. He makes a fine point about atomic energy. 

Go to RW's MySpace page and leave a comment. He's on a topic (LOVE/LUST) that always makes my head spin. www.myspace.com/shieldwolf_rw - n.l.

Noveltown Joins Filmmaker Community
Category: Writing and Poetry

We've put out a music CD, a magazine and a book. Now we're working with the fine young lads at Hectic Films making a documentary on the Lords of Bakersfield.

While the book, "Lords Part One" is fiction, the documentary is real. Check out the teaser trailer: Lords of Bakersfield. And if you think the novel is freaky, wait until the movie comes out. Go watch the trailer for more details. And leave a comment if you dare...
