Levon Helm Rest In Peace
This is much belated but the first time I heard the band was on AM radio. I was a small kid but was taken with THE WEIGHT. I am still taken with that song and the incredible catalogue of The Band. Levon's voice lent character and in itself was an instrument of virtuosity to a group of musicians who were all, in their own right, more than the sum of their parts but together were one hell of a band.
Rest in Peace Levon Helm. While we have your music we will still miss you.

NO TWO ARE ALIKE IS ON THE CARNAGE CONSERVATORY
Thank you Emily for all the kind words and the ability to showcase my writing. NO TWO ARE ALIKE is on THE CARNAGE CONSERVATORY. This story is not for the squeamish but that does not mean its gory. The subject matter may freak some of you out; but I find that women mostly love the tale. Enjoy.

See LURIDLIT Right Now for ANONYMOUS-9 AND HARD BITE
Best new book I have read. Anonymous-9 remember the name; Hard Bite---buy the book!!! This is what literature SHOULD BE! This is what writing is all about. Finally someone with the courage and immense talent to wake us from the doldrums of worn out plot lines and romanticized horror and bland suspense.

Family Court
So I checked my name on the net to see if either my law practice or writing came up in a search and there I find a court case. Seems a gent with my name is being sued for child support in New York state. I just want everyone to know IT IS NOT ME, but someone of the same name.
I am married here in Connecticut with no issue in the State of New York.
Stop the whispering, please.

Permuted Press on Facebook HISSERS
Hey they reference my review from Facebook. Thanks guys for the plug and glad you liked the review---I liked 'Hissers'VERY MUCH!!
Free Speech
The attorney in me told me to pull the post down because of possible litigation; but what a world we live in when censorship is shoved down our throats simply because of class.

Terribly Good Stuff, Yes it is.............
Well we made the finals of TerriblyGoodStuff's Creepypasta contest thanks to A STORY ABOUT FLIGHT. This is a tale utilizing the supernatural form known as the shadow man in the hijacking of a passenger plane more chilling and mysterious than that of D. B. Cooper. I want to thank those who read it and compared it to a Twilight Zone and I have to laugh now at the editor who turned it down saying it was 'cute'. Yeah, she got it right. A STORY ABOUT FLIGHT WILL BE POSTED SHORTLY and keep your fingers crossed and vote on it to win.
