Bella Italia

I’m excited to announce that “Then Came the Firestorm” was named a Semi-Finalist this week in the Videopoetry category at the 10th Bologna in Lettere festival.

Here’s some info from the official website about Bologna in Lettere – A Multidisciplinary Festival of Contemporary Literature.

The festival was born from a previous project called “Necessary Literature,” which aimed to eliminate territorial barriers by creating multimedia events. More than 1,500 authors from various backgrounds (poets, writers, critics, philosophers, video artists, musicians, performers, and others) have participated in the previous nine editions of Bologna in Lettere.

Roller Skating in the Bay Area

Besides being the world’s #1 Janet Jackson fan, Aimee Stevland is a top-notch graphic designer, an all-around super-nice person, and an expert roller skater. Check out my new interview with her on GoNomad.com to learn about the Bay Area’s best places to lace up the skates and get some “rolligion.”

A Quick Update

Hello and thanks for stopping by my website. Here’s a quick update on two projects I’m working on.

1) Breakfast with the Alien — Woohoo! I’m excited to say my collection of quirky short, short stories is almost ready for publication. This project has been a true labor of love. Huge thanks to the many people who’ve given me a hand along the way.

2) Spiral Notebook Project — Double woohoo! It’s been a dream of mine to one day record my music in a professional studio. Well, that dream is about to become reality thanks to the fine folks at Tiny Telephone.

Stay tuned for more information coming soon about both of these projects.
