Reviews of my stuff, interviews I’ve done, and places where you can see me in person.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reviews:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span> <\/strong>(Be adventurous – post your own!\u00a0 Even unfavorable ones, so long as they’re Witty.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s one from a friend’s monthly blog, https:\/\/billwednesdayblog.wordpress.com\/author\/billwednesdayblog\/<\/a>.\u00a0 He’s a retired high-school teacher, English and Literature, so I’m quite chuffed that he said nice stuff about it.<\/p>\n

Marty Smith,\u00a0All Tomorrow’s Parties,\u00a0<\/em>Blotter Books, 2013.<\/p>\n

“Hell. \u00a0You know what hell fucking is. \u00a0It’s not where God doesn’t give a fuck. \u00a0It’s where He doesn’t exist and there’s nobody\u00a0to\u00a0<\/em>give a fuck. \u00a0One good guy dies from a stupid needless accident trying to save another good guy who’s finally lost his shit because his life has been more hell than anybody should have to face.”<\/p>\n

Spoken at the climax of this well-written novel, these words accurately and powerfully describe the climax of the book. \u00a0The novel gives us\u00a0a look into the lives of those who make the live music scene in Durham and Chapel Hill and follow the complexities of their relationships. \u00a0Chuck, Billy, and Penny are my favorite characters, and the most fully drawn characters. \u00a0The author makes skillful, memorable physical descriptions of the characters when they are introduced and provides for deeper understanding of the major characters in sections called “Back Catalogue.” \u00a0The author makes interesting and appropriate use of song lyrics as section headings.<\/p>\n
