A Bizarro Fiction Audiobook on Audible

Posted on March 30, 2013 by

Not from ConcentrateI’m pleased to announce that, after years of waiting and hoping, the bizarro fiction collection of short stories, Not from Concentrate, is finally available on Audible.com!

This project has been a labor of love for me since I first decided to move down to Austin and record a collection of short stories that I felt were appropriately reflective of the times in which we live (and record them out of my studio apartment’s walk-in closet like the crazed recluse that I am!).

Joking aside, stories are important. Fantasy is great, but what about Realism? What about Realism and Fantasy and Satire? Can we combine these elements and package them in short stories – audio short stories available on mobile devices for people to listen to? These were the questions that drove me to produce this audiobook. Continue reading →

The Audacity of Momentum

Posted on March 13, 2013 by

Why do people stop themselves once they’ve got something started? Why do people stop short of achieving a goal, again and again?

Sure, part of the problem is the fear of the unknown but the other problem is a lack of setting goals. If a person isn’t moving toward a goal, then they’re just moving out into the unknown abyss of space. That’s scary stuff.  Continue reading →

The Anatomy of an Online Click

Posted on March 13, 2013 by

“Click on me! Click on me, please!” pages scream from the n-th social media platform, blog and online offering.

The British Have a Secret

Posted on March 10, 2013 by

A few years ago, I found myself in a girlfriend’s passenger seat while her father leaned into my open window and explained the meaning of life through the lens of a Puerto Rican philosophy. The Puerto Ricans, it seems, have a philosophy that translates to, “Don’t worry; f*ck it!”

Don’t act like you’re too-cool, a lot of people take Xanax-style medications, though I don’t recommend it. Continue reading →
