I leraned this evening that CULLOTTA reached #1 on the Amazon bestsellers list earlier today in the True Crime category.
The list is updated hourly, and the book was at #13 when I checked it around 10 p.m.
At any rate, it was kind of a thrill being on top, even for a short time.

I think technology has gone beyond its limits. In fact, I think it’s gotten down right scary. I hope you don’t mind me being a bit bold, blunt and maybe big mouthed about it. Technology advances are for the most part wonderful enhancements for us all. Except when they invade our privacy.
Here’s my story: Yesterday, Tuesday I went like an innocent lamb to the eye clinic to have the pesky cataracts removed. No big deal.…

With computer keyboard and the possiblity of typos, do you always write what you thought you wrote?
Does the reader understand what you wrote in the way you intended them to?
There are plenty of opportunities for us to be excellent communicators, or poor communicators, as writers. And isn't the art of good writing to be a great communicator, to influence others, to educate, inspireor entertain them?
Well, it is even more difficult if you are not working in your native…

How about a coffee shop as a place to get your inspiration? Poet Richard McKane often chases his muse in a coffee shop. Anywhere in the world ... Istanbul, London ... the atmosphere is the same.
For Richard McKane, the coffeehouse holds a special magic. In the coffeehouse, he says, the poet and the reader need not be alone. A good conversation in a coffeehouse, for him, lays itself in the memory like a good poem. He sees a coffeehouse as a place to feel safe and warm…

During the fall and spring of 1999-2000 I suffered from a recurring bout of sore throat problems. The doctor would put me on antibiotics, it would clear up and then return. I was then diagnosed with sleep apnea. I was put on a c-pap machine to help me breathe as I slept. The machine burned out, even while set on its highest pressure setting. This happened two or three times.
I paid a visit to a nurse at the VA clinic and she advised me to go see an ear, nose, throat specialist at the…

Think of CBS reporter Steve Hartman in a pencil skirt. OK. Maybe not. But that pretty much explains what I do. The stories I write. In this particular caper I invaded the local laundromat in my own hometown to "watch the clothes." But I didn't stop there. I interviewed a few patrons, sent a few mothers and their children scampering for cover and well......came out dripping wet with a story to remember. Click below for the tale of the suds.…

I'd like to get some of your opinions as to why people come to the U.S. to live. As many of you know, those that come here are mostly poor and seeking a better way to live. Unfortunately, for most of these immigrants the only way to cross is illegally. That doesn't make things right, but on the other hand most of these individuals do not have another choice.
This is what my book "Mass Exodus the Story of an Illegal Immigrant" is about and how something as simple as…
