56 seconds of dumbness and the word "cock."

Entertain your lovely selves with this. I'm still over at Ed's place espousing my love for books, men and "cocks."

But I read it in the paper!

I'm babysitting. Drop on by and I'll tell you a few things about my brother and the evil press.

The moon, the writer, his wife and her couch

A huge thanks to fellow writer Dean Cochrane for this review of my first novel, "Harvey & Eck."

Here is a bit of what he had to say:

The book is funny and sad, desperate and uplifting. It is tough and irreverent and full of life, hope, and love. It is a story of growth that is intertwined without being intertwined, if that makes any sense.

The best writing shows us many things: things that could be, or that should be, or that are, but are hidden. “Harvey & Eck” shows us all of these.

Dean has much going for him. There is his writing; and then there is his extraordinarily foxy wife.

Oh. Why the moon? There's lots of moon in the book. Plus, the moon's cool.

Hair

You don't fool me

I woke to find that the Fool (who is nobody's fool) had posted a lovely review of my book, "Harvey & Eck."

Here is a little of what he had to say:

It’s a love story…but unlike any other. The voice of Harvey is unique. The intertwining of various themes around the art piece Simple Bond displays a stunning bit of craft. And the secondary characters are so memorable - Captain Crunch, the Hub, Webley, Kate - they will all find a place with you. There is no good person, or bad person in this novel - just people; people being real people. There’s no precedent, and the ending will surprise you.

Thanks Erin – your book is a gift to us all.

I am so taking my pants off.

Here's a longer one.

Although it wasn't always the case, you should be able to order the book at any major bookstore. Or it's available on Amazon for about $12.

Or if you'd like a signed copy, send me $20 and I'll send you one, along with a surprise or two.
