KILLER CAREER BY Morgan Mandel ALMOST HERE

Last night with some trepidation I signed off on the second proof for Killer Career. I'd found about ten minor mistakes in the first, so had asked for another. I'm sure others still escaped my wary eye, but there's a time when you have to let go of your babies and let them fend for themselves.

Anyway, KILLER CAREER should be available through normal… Continue

Cotton Candy or Spinach ... Here's Hoping I Can Avoid Both Pitfalls

This week’s Business Question of the Week was sent in by Mike who hails from my hometown of Philadelphia, PA:

I'm nearly finished writing my first novel, First Floor on Fire, which is fiction but strongly inspired by my experience teaching in a tough public high school in Philadelphia. My book is an attempt at being both strongly intellectual, viscerally emotional and thematically complex. Most books make readers choose between cotton candy or spinach, and here's hoping I can avoid… Continue

Nigeria, West-Africa!!! Why me???

So I beat-up on two kids half my age and landed them in the emergency room with cracked ribs.

"What's the big deal?" You ask from the side or your mouth, not letting go of the Nintendo cruiser you clutch in your hands.

Well, the big deal is that my parents panicked and catapulted us from the our lovely home in San Francisco to the middle of nowhere in Owasso, Oklahoma. Major downer!

Jeez! How was I to know???

You’ve been waiting to hear what I did to merit a punishment as extreme as boarding school in AFRICA of all places. Okay, I’m totally gonna tell you. But bear in mind that this happened a long time ago, like when I was twelve.

At that time, I guess I must have been a really frustrated kid, full of angst and bitterness at the failing relationship between my parents.

How was I to know, at that time, that trying to be a punk was not the best of solutions to an impending family… Continue
