By I received word last week from my publisher, Eternal press, that there are still ten books ahead of Helltown Chronicles in the queue. Sigh…
Barb’s First Published Poetry
I’m happy for my spouse, Barb Ariel Cohen, on her debut publication in The Penmen Review, Southern New Hampshire University’s Online Journal for Creative Writers.
“Kiss, Bow, or Shake Hands”
The Zodiac Review has accepted my flash sci-fi piece, “Kiss, Bow, or Shake Hands” for publication online sometime next week.
Books For Africa
Kwasi Sarkodie-Mensah, Manager of Instructional Services at the O’Neill Library at Boston College, periodically holds a drive to collect books to send to libraries in Africa. He’s a wonderful and caring human being.
The Computer Science Department capitalized on our move this week; its faculty donated many dozens of computer books that were no longer needed. I’m standing next to a pile in our nearly vacated offices in Maloney Hall.
If anyone else out there in FB-land has old books that they hate throw away, please consider this worthy cause. If you’re in the Boston area, I’d be happy to act as a go-between. Or if you live further away and could afford the shipping charges to Boston, I’m sure that Kwasi would love to receive even more books. The books don’t have to be textbooks, incidentally. Kwasi and his colleagues collect and ship all sorts of books to Africa.
The Wait Begins
The Infamous “Highway To Hell”
I did a double-take when I spotted this recent post by George Takei on Facebook. It’s a photo of the infamous “Highway to Hell,” a.k.a. Stanford Road in Helltown, Ohio.
