about this author
THE LOVE BOOK is my first collection of short stories. It is also available as an audiobook podcast from Podiobooks, which you can listen to via iTunes or Podiobooks.com. I live in Brooklyn, NY which is a hell of a lot better than where you live.
You can also read some of my stories as single-story e-books available on Amazon Kindle, Scribd, Smashwords, and Lulu. Click here for download/buy links.
I was the cofounder and editor of Bully Magazine from 1998-2003. My writing has appeared in Opium, The New York Press, Go Metric, Friction Magazine, FreeWilliamsburg, Motel, and AlcoholReviews. I've also participated in the Perpetual Motion Roadshow and the Needle Exchange Hour reading series. In 2006, I became a co-founder--...more

Hi Ken: Thanks for inviting me to your friends list. And thanks for the nice comment about my book's nomination, both on my page and the small-press group. That was kind of you. I enjoyed your video and hearing about the Blacksmiths---you guys don't look old enough to have a 30-year-reunion tour. Man, Freebird Books looks like a great store! Your reading was great, too---nice commentary on Irishness. Congrats on The Love Book!
