It's been a steamy, disgusting August so far in New York City, one that I've managed to survive only by taking six cold showers a day, blasting the AC, and eating nothing but Klondike bars. Hope your summer's been less adventurous!
As far as the website goes, my performance of a story by Mark Twain is up. It's called, "The Story of the Bad Little Boy Who Didn't Come to Grief." I hope you enjoy it...

‘‘True!—nervous—very, very nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses-not destroyed-not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and obseve how healthily-how calmly I can tell you the whole story...’’
Because this is a famous work of literature, critical analysis abounds on the Internet:…

- Do you believe in ghosts? Zombies? Dog ghosts? Why or why not?
- Do you sleep in pajamas?
- What other themes/issues/whatevers from the s…

Rookie in a Red Raincoat
You can tell a true cowboy by the type of horse that he rides.
- Cowboy Proverb
1973. THE YEAR OF DISCO: Afro wigs, platform heels and strobe lights. I had to be different. I was still in the ‘60s with my beehive hair, cowboy boots and Wolsey tights. At twenty-eight, I was the first female rookie agent for the FBI in D.C. and let me tell you: when you’re a sassy cowgirl from West Texas who handles a…

As of this past weekend, the entire "Vatican Assassin" Trilogy is up for downloading, complete on Podiobooks.com! The four final episodes are background material from the appendix, so the story actually ends at the end of episode 24 of "Vatican Abdicator". The appendix contains the "History of the Future" I extrapolated from the time I was writing up to 2109, as well as "The Future of the Future", the early outline for the entire trilogy, the "Alien Timeline" and "The Project" history.

Hey guys,
I posted the first episode of my new book, a dark fantasy/horror, over at the mentorship page and was hoping for some feedback. It's the entire episode, so it's big, sorry about that. If anyone would like to have a listen and let me know what you think, it would be very helpful. I'm hoping to nail the sound quality this time.
Thanks,
Brian
