Happy New Year! This is what I read. I read more this year than last, but still feel like I could do better. I will aim to read and write even more in ’24. Hope everyone has a great year! * – Hatred.

DeWitt Clinton
A Whitestone staple turned off the oven and closed its doors on June 25th. If you grew up in my corner of Queens you’ve probably dined at The Clinton.

Hey. It’s raining in Queens and already much too hot for me. I have a few posts in the works but you may or may not notice a little slow down in content. I am working on novel no. 4, and my writing time, my free time overall really, is limited. I’m making this manuscript…

Despite having the final leg of the thoroughbred race,…

Of unclear origin, a harbinger of bad luck to some, though I don’t suffer from triskaidekaphobia, or worry about any particular superstitions, I like black cats and…

Reading List 2022
I’m mildly embarrassed that I only averaged a book a month, and not really even that, but in my defense, I work full time and the occasional overtime shift, with a wife, three small kids and a dog. My free time is limited. I used to crush books back in the day. The truth is…
